Tips

  • To keep it lean, trim all exterior fat from the top sirloin.
  • Searing the steak for best flavor is recommended, but not essential.
  • For best flavor, pair with fresh diced onions, lime juice, and cilantro.
  • To reheat frozen servings, add 1/4 cup of water and microwave for about 4 minutes.
  • If you don't want it spicy, remove the seeds from the peppers.
