    Preparation Steps

    1

    Slice the beef into thin steak pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and ground cumin. Drizzle with lime juice and let it marinate for 15-20 minutes.

    2

    Slice the onions into thin rings, and mince the garlic.

    3

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the steak slices for 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

    4

    In the same skillet, sauté the onion rings over medium heat until golden brown. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.

    5

    Pour the soy sauce and water into the skillet, and bring to a simmer. Return the steak slices to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

    6

    To serve, place the steak slices on a plate, top with the onion sauce, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Serve with rice or roasted vegetables.
