Add the remaining lime juice mixture and seasonings to the prawns and refrigerate.

4

Toss sliced onions, capsicum, and minced garlic together with remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

5

Preheat BBQ to medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes with skillet or Grill Topper inside with the lid on. Or, heat your skillet to medium on your stovetop. Add the steak in batches, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for 3 minutes undisturbed, stir, and continue to cook 1-2 minutes. The steak should be nicely charred but not cooked all the way through. Remove to a plate and repeat with the rest of the steak.
