Ingredients
1 1/2
lb. boneless beef sirloin steak (about 1 inch thick), trimmed of fat, cut into thin bite-sized strips
1
medium onion, halved crosswise, sliced
1/4
cup lime juice
2
tablespoons tequila, if desired
3
tablespoons oil
2
garlic cloves, sliced
2
teaspoons chili powder
1
teaspoon cumin
1/2
teaspoon salt
1
green bell pepper, cut into strips
1
red bell pepper, cut into strips
6
sandwich buns (onion, kaiser or wheat), split
6
(3/4-oz.) slices hot pepper Monterey Jack cheese, halved
Preparation
Place steak and onion in resealable food storage plastic bag. In small bowl, combine lime juice, tequila, oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin and salt; mix well. Pour over steak and onion in bag. Seal bag; turn bag to distribute marinade. Refrigerate 3 hours, turning occasionally.
Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until hot. Add steak, onion and all of marinade. Add bell peppers; cook and stir until beef is no longer pink, bell peppers and onion are crisp-tender and most of liquid has evaporated.
Place bun halves, cut side up, on ungreased cookie sheet; broil 4 to 6 inches from heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until toasted. Spoon beef and vegetables onto bottom halves of buns. Top each with 2 pices of cheese; return to broiler for 1 minute to melt cheese. Cover with tops of buns. If desired, top with salsa, sour cream or guacamole.
