  8. Remove steak from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
  9. Add 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers and onions) and the reserved marinade to the skillet.
  10. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  11. Thinly slice the steak against the grain.
  12. Add sliced steak to the skillet with the vegetables.
  13. Stir in 1/2 cup salsa and heat through.
