Sheet Pan Steak Fajitas
Description
This recipe begins by slicing flank steak thinly against the grain and preparing red and yellow bell peppers and sliced onions. The vegetables are first tossed with olive oil and half the spice mix, then broiled until they start to soften. The steak is added to the pan and coated with the remaining spices and olive oil before being broiled just until cooked to preference. Finishing with a squeeze of fresh lime juice brightens the flavors.
The dish yields tender, spiced steak strips combined with slightly charred, sweet bell peppers and onions, providing a classic fajita experience. Serving suggestions include flour or corn tortillas, along with optional toppings like avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and extra lime for balance.
Cooking everything on a sheet pan under the broiler simplifies the process, making this approach ideal for quick weeknight meals or when you want a fajita dinner without marinating or grilling. The spice blend has a smoky and earthy profile that complements the meat and vegetables well.
