2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
-
In a bowl or resealable bag, mix all marinade ingredients. Add steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for best flavor).

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak strips for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Return the steak to the pan and toss with the veggies for another 2 minutes to combine flavors.

Serve immediately in warm tortillas. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
Notes

For a smokier flavor, grill the steak before slicing.

Serve with sour cream, avocado, or salsa for extra toppings.

Corn tortillas are a great gluten-free option.
