instructions
    1

    Start by marinating the beef. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, lime juice from the lime, salt, and pepper. Add the beef and ensure it's well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    2

    While the beef is marinating, slice the jalapeños. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds and membranes.

    3

    After the marinating time, heat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

    4

    Once hot, place the marinated beef on the grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

    5

    During the last 2 minutes of grilling, add the sliced jalapeños to the grill to char slightly.

    6

    Remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

    7

    Serve the sliced beef with the grilled jalapeños on top, garnished with chopped cilantro.
