Ingredients
- 2 2 pounds skirt, flank, sirloin, or hanger steak sliced into 1/2 inch strips
- 1 1 red pepper deseeded and sliced into thin strips
- 1 1 bell pepper deseeded and sliced into thin strips
- 1 1 medium onion peeled and sliced into thin strips
- 3 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- pinch cayenne pepper
- 1/2 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 2 cloves garlic minced
- 6-8 6-8 tortillas warmed
Optional garnish:
- sour cream
- guacamole
- salsa
Instructions
- Place the steak into a sealable bag. Place the peppers and onion into a separate sealable bag. Add the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and garlic to a jar with a screw top or tight fitting lid. Shake until well combined. Pour 1/3 of the marinade over steak, 1/3 of marinade over vegetables and reserve the remaining marinade in the jar for using when cooking the steak fajitas. Seal the bags tightly and refrigerate for one hour to overnight.
- When ready to cook, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour the vegetables into the skillet and cook until just tender crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet to a plate and add steak strips to the same skillet. When the steak is cooked throughout (about 7-10 minutes), add vegetables back to the skillet along with the reserved marinade.
- Serve with warm tortillas and desired optional garnishes.
