This beef recipe goes south of the border, with the addition of a bell pepper-based topping sharpened up by the citrus kick of lime and the earthy scent of cumin. It's a hearty, steak-at-the-center-of-the-plate meal that is perfect served with a side of rice to soak up the sauce's delicious juices. Make extra red pepper mixture to use as a sandwich spread, and thinly slice any leftover steak against the grain to tuck into sandwiches with the topping the next day, too. You could also add a sprinkle of cumin to the meat before cooking it for added depth of flavor. And squeeze some lime juice over any leftover slices before refrigerating.
