2petite sirloin steaksabout 3/4 pound total, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1red onionthinly sliced
½cupapple cider vinegar
1teaspoonhoney
2small heads butter lettuceor romaine or iceberg
1avocadodiced
fresh cilantro and lime wedgesfor serving
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the diced beef to the marinade; turn to coat. Cover and let rest at 1 hour.
While the steak marinates, prepare the onions. Add the sliced onions, vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt to a small pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat. When the liquid starts to boil, remove from the heat and let cool.
Heat a heavy pan, preferably cast iron, over high heat. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the meat from the bowl to the hot pan, leaving the marinade behind. Cook 4-5 minutes, or until the steak bites are browned on the outside and medium or medium-well inside.
Divide the steak among 12 lettuce leaves. Top with pickled onions, diced avocado, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
Notes
The leaves closest to the heart of the lettuce typically make the best cups, since they're sturdy. Save the soft outer leaves for salad.
