The steak should have a deep brown crust while remaining pink and juicy in the centre. When sliced, it should be tender with visible juices but not bleeding heavily. The peppers should be soft with light charring, not watery.

Serve immediately in warm tortillas with sour cream, salsa and guacamole. Add grated cheese or fresh chilli for extra kick. Pair with rice, grilled corn or a simple salad.
