Ingredients
- 1-1.5 lb. flank steak beef
- 1 white onion
- 3 bell pepper 1 red, 1 green, 1 yellow
- 10, " flour tortillas
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
Flank Steak Marinade
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup orange juice juice from 1 orange
- 2 Tbsp. lime juice juice from 1 lime
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 Tbsp. fajita seasoning
- 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Marinate the Flank Steak: Whisk together the ingredients for the marinade in a medium sized bowl. Place the Flank Steak in a baggie and pour in the marinade, seal the baggie. Place in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight.
- Meanwhile, you can slice the bell peppers and onions and set aside. Make the fajita seasoning by mixing all of the spices together in a bowl. Set aside.
- Once the Flank Steak has marinated, remove it from the baggie and slice into thin strips (about ½ - ¾ inch wide strips). Be sure to slice against the grain of the meat. Set aside.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and let this heat for about 1 minute. Then add in the bell peppers and onions. Sauté until the veggies are tender (about 7 minutes). Add in 2 Tbsp. of the prepared fajita seasoning and toss to coat the veggies. Remove the veggies from the cast iron and set aside on a plate or dish.
- Return the cast iron to the stove to cook the flank steak. Add the steak to the cast iron, season with 1 tablespoon of the fajita seasoning and cook, using tongs to toss the meat until the meat is done and cooked to your preference, about 4-5 minutes or until the outside surface of beef is no longer pink (Do not overcook).
- Once the meat is cooked you can add the veggies back in and toss to combine. Serve on a warm tortilla with your favorite garnishes: avocado, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, cheese.
