Combine the salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne in a small
bowl. Rub the steak with the seasoning on both sides. Heat
the oil in a 10" heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over
medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Put the
steak in the hot pan and sear for 3 minutes. Turn the
steak and cook for another 2 minutes. (it will be very
rare but will cook more as it rests). Take the skillet off
the heat, transfer the steak to a cutting board, and cover
loosely with foil.
Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the pepper and
onion slices and saute, stirring frequently, until soft,
about 8 minutes. Add the jalapeno and garlic and cook
until soft and fragrant, about 1 minute. Slide the skillet
off the heat and stir in the lime juice, scraping up any
browned bits from the pan. Cover to keep warm.
Trim the fat from the side of the steak and cut the steak
into thin (1/8" to 1/4") slices. Add the slices to the
skillet along with any accumulated juices. Toss until well
blended. Stir in the chopped cilantro and season with salt
and pepper. Serve immediately with warm flour tortillas,
sliced avocado, sour cream, chopped tomatoes, and cilantro
sprigs.
