Instructions

Cut steak into 1-inch wide by 4-inch stripes.
In a small bowl, mix together guajillo powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt together.
Sprinkle seasoning over steak and toss together until the beef is evenly coated.
Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat. Pour in 1 teaspoon vegetable oil into the skillet per batch of meat.
Add beef to skillet. Do not crowd the pan or the steak will steam instead of sear. You may need to repeat the process in batches. I usually wipe away the oil after each batch with a paper towel.
Sear beef until golden brown on each side; about 4-8 minutes.
Place steak into a large bowl. Remove any excess liquid.
Melt butter in microwave.
Stir in cilantro, garlic, salt, and lemon juice.
Pour over steak and toss together.
Serve garlic guajillo steak in a warm corn or flour tortilla with chopped cilantro and chopped white onions or in a bowl with cilantro lime rice and black beans.
