1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon minced garlic
½ small onion, thinly sliced (or 5–6 green onions)
8 small portobello mushrooms, sliced
1 small poblano pepper (or bell pepper), sliced
Salt and pepper, to taste
10 oz steak, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix
¼ cup queso melting cheese
Cook the veggies: Heat 1–2 teaspoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, onions, mushrooms, and peppers. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove veggies from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the steak: Toss sliced steak with taco seasoning. Heat remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add steak and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, 1–2 minutes depending on slice thickness.
Combine: Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the steak. Stir to combine.
Add cheese: Warm the queso and pour over the steak and vegetable mixture. Serve immediately.
Prep ahead: Slice all ingredients before cooking; this recipe comes together quickly.
Thin steak: Slicing steak thinly ensures fast and even cooking.
Cheese ready: Warm the queso ahead of time so it melts smoothly over the hot steak and veggies.
