📝 Preparation Steps
1
Trim away any large chunks of fat and cut steak into strips that are 1/2-inch thick, then cut into pieces that 3/4-inch in size.
2
In a large mixing bowl whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, garlic, ancho chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper.

3
Add steak pieces to lime mixture then toss well to coat. Cover and refrigerate ⏱️ 1 hour and up to ⏱️ 6 hours.
4
Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

5
Once oil is just smoking, use tongs to remove half the steak from the bowl (shake off some excess marinade) and transfer to pan and immediately spread steak pieces out into an even single layer in pan (stand back it can splatter).
6
Let cook about ⏱️ 45 seconds until nicely browned on bottom, then very quickly flip each piece and cook to desired doneness, about ⏱️ 45 seconds longer (for food safety USDA recommends internal safe temperature of 145 degrees on an instant read thermometer, I like to go to about 135 degrees). Transfer steak to a plate.
7
Wipe skillet clean using tongs and a ball of paper towels. Return to heat and add remaining 2 tsp oil and let heat. Repeat cooking and transferring process with remaining steak.
8
Serve right away in warmed tortillas with avocado, onion and cilantro.
