soy sauce

Tamari is gluten-free and coconut aminos are lower in sodium.

jalapeño

Bell pepper provides sweetness without the heat.

Squeeze the juice of half of a lime and use 2-3 limes total for the marinade.

Cut fresh cilantro with kitchen shears and spread it over the beef.

Add garlic powder and onion powder to the beef.

Use fresh garlic, noting that frozen cloves can be used.
