Step 1
Slice the beef into thin strips about 1/4-inch thick, cutting against the grain.
Step 2
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Working in batches, sear beef strips 90 seconds per side until edges brown. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
In the same skillet, char jalapeños and onion slices until edges blacken, 4–5 minutes.
Step 5
Return beef to the skillet, scatter cheese slices over the top, cover for 30 seconds until melted.
Step 6
Squeeze lime juice over everything, top with cilantro, and serve straight from the skillet.
