Ingredients
2 pounds skirt, flank, sirloin, or hanger steak sliced into ½ inch strips
1 red pepper deseeded and sliced into thin strips
1 green or yellow pepper deseeded and sliced into thin strips
1 medium onion peeled and sliced into thin strips
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic minced
6-8 tortillas warmed
Preparation
step 1:
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 ⅓ of the marinade over steak, ⅓ 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.
step 2:
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.
