Awesome Steak Fajitas

These are INCREDIBLY GOOD steak fajitas. Tender, tangy, and super flavorful beef paired with slightly charred veggies, warm tortillas, sour cream, and guacamole. One of my favorite easy beef recipes!

Instructions

Steak Fajita Marinade
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium bowl, stir together all marinade ingredients. Place meat in a gallon-size plastic bag or glass container and pour marinade over the top. Marinate for at least 4 hours, preferably closer to 24, flipping the meat once halfway through.
Fajita Steak
  1. Arrange your top oven rack to about 4 inches below the broiler and heat broiler on high.
  2. Line a heavy-duty baking sheet or roasting pan with foil and broil steak for 4-6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium. Allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing across the grain into strips.
Fajita Vegetables
  1. While your meat cooks, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, add onion and bell pepper slices. Sprinkle spices over the top and generously salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 8 minutes, until edges are lightly charred and vegetables are tender crisp.For softer vegetables, turn heat down to medium once the vegetables get a nice char so they don’t burn, and continue to cook until vegetables reach your desired level of doneness.
  2. Serve with the sliced steak over warmed tortillas with sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • To warm tortillas, wrap them in a slightly damp towel and microwave them until heated through, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
