Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 ripe Hass avocadoes
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure chile powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 lb flank steak, trimmed of any surface fat (about 3/4 inch thick)
extra virgin olive oil
1 medium red onion, cut crosswise into 1/3 inch slices
1 medium red bell peppers or 1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and cut into flat sections
4 flour tortillas (10 inch)
Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • Make the guacamole: scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl; add the remaining guacamole ingredients; stir with a fork until combined.
  • Cover with plastic wrap to prevent browning.
  • Make the rub: in a small bowl, combine all the rub ingredients.
  • Lightly brush or spray the flank steak on both sides with oil; season steak evenly with the rub.
  • Let steak stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling.
  • Lightly brush or spray the onion and bell peppers on both sides with oil.
  • Grill over direct medium heat until tender, turning once; the onion will take 8-10 minutes and the bell peppers will take 6-8 minutes.
  • Cut the onion and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces.
  • Grill the flank steak over direct high heat until cooked to desired doneness, 8-10 minutes for medium-rare, turning once.
  • Remove from grill and let rest 3-5 minutes.
  • Wrap the tortillas in a foil package; grill the package over direct medium heat to warm the tortillas, 2-3 minutes, turning once.
  • To serve: cut the flank steak against the grain into ¼ inch slices.
  • Place the warm tortillas, sliced, meat, onions, peppers, and guacamole in separate serving dishes.
  • Let each person make their own fajita by placing the fillings down the center of each tortilla and adding Tabasco to taste; wrap and serve warm.

The beef can be used also in tacos, but we enjoy it with grilled peppers and onions. Nothing needs to be cooked inside. Prep time is total of preparing marinade and chopping vegetables.

Time 55m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 lbs flank steaks
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 limes, juiced
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
2 bell peppers, cut in large pieces
2 red onions, cut in large pieces
1 (1 1/8 ounce) packet fajita seasoning mix
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 -12 tortillas

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, soy sauce, 4 cloves of garlic, juice of two limes, and olive oil. Season with salt, black pepper, white pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, oregano, cumin and paprika. Whisk until well blended, then pour over the steak. Cover, refrigerate for 1-8 hours.
  • Remove from marinade and slice the flank steak with the grain in half.
  • Skewer the bell peppers and onions like a kebob.
  • Wrap the tortilla shells in foil.
  • Mix the fajita seasoning and vegetable oil right before putting the vegetables on the grill to avoid it getting too thick.
  • Grill the peppers and onions over preheated medium high grill, basting periodically with fajita/oil mixture until charred and vegetables are crisp tender. Approx 10-15 minutes.
  • Move vegetables to a cool part of the grill and place steak over hottest part of the grill. Grill 3-5 minutes per side or until steak is medium. At the same time, place the tortilla packet on the grill. Turn the tortilla packet every few minutes to avoid burning the tortillas.
  • Allow the steak to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  • While the steak is resting, remove the onions and peppers from skewers and chop into bite size pieces.
  • Build your fajitas and enjoy! Great with guacamole and sour cream.
