• 1 pound Beef sirloin steak, sliced into strips
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 3 whole Jalapeño peppers, sliced into strips
• 1 large Red onion, sliced into wedges

   Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat with one tablespoon of oil until smoking.

3. 3

   Sear the beef strips in small batches until browned and charred on the edges, then remove from the pan.

   Add the remaining oil and toss in the sliced jalapeños, searing them until the skins are blistered and slightly blackened.

   Return the beef to the pan and stir in the soy sauce, vinegar, and cumin, tossing rapidly to deglaze the pan.
