Cut the beef into strips in a fajita or julienne style.

Place the cut beef into a container.

Add Worcestershire sauce to the beef for flavor.

Sprinkle in 1-2 teaspoons of paprika, a little cumin, garlic powder, and salt.

Mix all the ingredients well and let the beef marinate for at least an hour or refrigerate overnight for better flavor.

Wash the bell peppers and cut them into thin strips, removing seeds and membranes.

Cut the onions into strips in a fajita or julienne style.

Heat extra virgin olive oil in a pan until hot.

Add the marinated beef to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 4-8 minutes, checking for doneness by cutting a piece of meat.

Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the pan and set it aside.

In the same pan, add more oil if needed and then add the bell peppers and onions.

Stir-fry the vegetables for about 7-10 minutes until they reduce in size and are cooked well.

Add the cooked beef back into the pan with the vegetables, including any juices released from the meat, and combine everything.
