Instructions

Place all of the marinade ingredients in a bowl or resealable bag, then stir to thoroughly combine.
Add 1 pound of steak and 2 cups of sliced vegetables to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl or seal the bag.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours.
Cook steak and vegetables as desired. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then cut into thin slices and serve.

Notes

This recipe works best with whole steaks. I do not recommend slicing the steak before it goes into the marinade.
You can use whatever fajita vegetables you like in the marinade. I typically do a combination of onion, red and yellow bell peppers and poblano peppers.
I recommend marinating the meat for 6-8 hours for the best results.
