Recipe Ingredients:
1 pound boneless lamb sirloin steaks, sliced 1-inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon crushed dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 onion, peeled and halved
1 green bell pepper, seeded and halved
1 carrot, peeled and halved lengthwise

Cooking Directions:
- Place lamb in a glass dish. Whisk olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, cilantro, oregano, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Pour over lamb, cover and marinate for 4 hours or overnight.
