Ingredients

1 pound steak, sliced into thin strips
2 tablespoons olive oil
FOR THE DRESSING:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

Directions

Place the 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the meat and cook until browned but still slightly pink in the middle. Set the pan aside.
To make the dressing, place the 1/4 cup of olive oil, lime juice, oregano, cumin, coriander, chili powder, garlic and a few pinches of salt and pepper to taste into a large bowl. Stir the mixture well to combine and then add the steak strips to the bowl. Toss well to coat and then set aside.

Serve the steak with the salsa and a side of flour tortillas.
