Preparation Method Steps:
- Prepare the meat: Season the steak with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

Special Precautions and Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use a thinly sliced ribeye steak instead of skirt steak.
- If you don't have pineapple chunks, you can substitute canned pineapple rings or fresh mango.
- Be careful not to overcook the vegetables, as they should retain a slight crunch.
- Serve with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese.
