Step 1
Pat beef dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and cumin.
Step 2
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.
Step 3
Add beef in a single layer. Let it sear 2–3 minutes without stirring until edges brown.
Step 4
Stir and cook 1–2 minutes more until the pieces are browned on most sides but still tender.
Step 5
Toss in sliced onion and jalapeño (sliced or minced, seeds removed if you prefer less heat).
Step 6
Squeeze the lime over everything and stir. Remove from heat and fold in cilantro. Serve hot.
