Instructions

Prepare the steak by chopping it into bite-sized cubes and seasoning with a mixture of spices: chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and optional cayenne.
Coat the steak cubes with vegetable oil and let them marinate for 5 to 10 minutes.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side until browned (3 to 5 minutes total).
Warm corn tortillas briefly before assembling your tacos with cooked steak and desired toppings like sour cream, guacamole, salsa, pickled red onions, and chopped cilantro.
