- Stir together the sugar, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small mixing bowl to make the dry rub for the steak.

MEXICAN BEEF STIR-FRY
This is a very unique stir fry, in that it's served on a bed of shredded lettuce instead of over rice! To save time, you can buy a bag of pre-shredded lettuce. I like 2 or more jalapenos, but I like things spicy. If you'd like, you can garnish with salsa, diced avocados, chopped green onions, and sour cream! I like this served hot, but you can serve it cold as a salad....but I really like it hot over the cold lettuce!

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the steak and vegetables plenty of room to cook.
- Cook the steak in batches: If you overcrowd the skillet, the steak will steam instead of sear. Cook the steak in batches to ensure that it gets evenly browned.
- Don't overcook the steak: Steak is best cooked to medium-rare or medium. If you overcook it, it will become tough and chewy.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to your stir-fry. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, broccoli, and carrots.
- Add some heat: If you like spicy food, add some chili peppers or Sriracha sauce to your stir-fry. You can also use a spicy marinade for the steak.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served hot and fresh. If you let them sit for too long, the vegetables will become soggy and the steak will toughen.
Conclusion:
Mexican Fiesta Steak Stir-Fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover steak. With its bold flavors and colorful vegetables, this stir-fry is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you are looking for a flavorful and healthy meal, give this recipe a try.
