- Thinly slice the red onion and pickle it using about ¼ cup of the vinaigrette in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Arrange a platter with a bed of greens and sliced tomatoes.
- Create a dipping sauce by combining lime juice with salt and pepper in a small dish.
- Heat a large wok or pan over high heat until very hot. Add ½ tablespoon of avocado oil until smoking, then add half of the beef cubes to sear for about 2 minutes, shaking to sear all sides for another 1-2 minutes, then remove and set aside.
- Repeat the searing process with the remaining beef and oil.

- Serve with the lime dipping sauce.
Notes
Marinating the beef overnight enhances the flavor and tenderness significantly.
Adjust the level of sweetness and saltiness in the vinaigrette to match your preference.
Using a wok allows for even searing of the beef, which is crucial for the best texture.
