method

Add all ingredients under "beef" in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Marinate in the fridge for 1 hour prior to cooking.
Add all ingredients under "salsa" in a bowl and mix through. If you're not serving right away, don't add the dressing (lemon, oil, salt) until you're ready to eat.
On a non-stick pan, splash a small amount of olive oil and heat over medium heat.
Cook beef in batches for 1-2 minutes each side until browned, making sure you don't over crowd the pan.
Once cooked, dress the salad and throw in the beef. Serve and enjoy!
