Ingredients
- 2 pounds flank steak sliced
- 3 bell peppers seeded and sliced
- 1 large onion sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning or fajita seasoning
- 1/2 bunch cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the 2 pounds flank steak in a single layer (cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan), and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the 2 tablespoons taco seasoning.
- Cook for around 1-2 minutes per side. Set aside.
- To the same skillet, add the remaining oil and stir-fry the veggies( 3 bell peppers sliced, and 1 large onion, sliced) for 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining taco seasoning. Mix to combine.
- Remove from heat and return the steak; stir to combine.
- Serve in corn tortillas if desired with toppings of choice like 1/2 bunch cilantro chopped.

Notes
- Cut the flank steak against the grain to make the steak less tough. This shortens the beef fibers and makes chewing much easier.
- Cook flank steak to medium-rare for the most tender texture. A well-done steak will be chewy and harder to break down.
- Use any color of bell pepper you prefer! If you're not a fan of green bell peppers, stick to red, yellow, and orange.
- Store any leftovers from this steak fajita recipe in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheat them in the microwave or in a pan on the stove with a bit of oil.
- Serve with guacamole, salsa, chopped fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime!
