Notes

Use fresh lime juice for a brighter flavor. Don't skip the resting time after cooking the beef to allow the juices to redistribute. If serving a crowd, double the recipe and keep the beef warm in a slow cooker. Enjoy making it your own by adding cheese or using different proteins if desired!
