Prep: 5 min

Cook time: 10 min

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lb top sirloin steak or flank steak

Marinade:

• kosher salt, to taste

• freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• 1 can chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped OR chipotle chili powder

• juice from 1 navel orange

• 2 tbsp white vinegar

• 1 tbsp dried oregano

• 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika

• 1 tbsp cumin

• 1 tbsp garlic powder

**Vegan note: You can use firm tofu, shiitake mushrooms, Seitan, OR your choice of meatless product OR diced red and green peppers and red onions with the marinade.

Directions:

1. Place the steak in a ziplock bag and add the marinade ingredients. Seal it and mix well. Refrigerate for 2 hours overnight.

2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Add the steak to the pan and cook for 5 minutes per side or 7 minutes, if you want it well done.

4. Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes. Cut it into bite-sized pieces. Enjoy!

**If using a vegan alternative, marinade your substitution for at least 2 hours and cook for 10 minutes for chopped tofu or seitan; 5-8 minutes for vegetables.
