# Steps:
01 - Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Add steak strips and toss to coat thoroughly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor penetration.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Arrange marinated steak strips in a single layer without overcrowding. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until well-browned and cooked through. Transfer steak to a plate and cover loosely with foil to retain heat.
03 - Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the same skillet. Add sliced peppers and onion, spreading evenly. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and develop light char marks.
04 - Return seared steak to the skillet with vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for 1–2 minutes until the mixture is sizzling hot and well combined. Serve immediately.
05 - Transfer hot fajita mixture to a warm serving platter. Accompany with warmed tortillas and your selection of toppings including sour cream, salsa, cilantro, lime wedges, avocado, or shredded cheese.
