Beef Fajitas image

Beef Fajitas made extra juicy and extra tasty with a wicked marinade that tenderises and flavours the beef! But if you don't have time to marinade, see Note 7 for a faster version. Adapted from this recipe by Tyler Florence (mine is easier and I think it is just as tasty!)

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium bell peppers, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
1 teaspoon chili powder, divided
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
½ teaspoon ground cumin, divided
1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak
2 medium limes, quartered
6 (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with foil.
  • Combine bell peppers, onion, 2 teaspoons oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cumin on the prepared pan; toss to coat. Spread veggie mixture around the sides of the pan creating a space in the center.
  • Place flank steak in center of pan and brush with remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Sprinkle steak with remaining salt, chili powder, pepper, and cumin and rub to evenly coat.

An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the steak should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium.
  • Transfer steak to a cutting board and rest, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Thinly slice steak and return to the sheet pan. Add lime wedges and serve with tortillas.
