MARINATED STEAK & PEPPER FAJITAS



Marinated Steak & Pepper Fajitas image

These are the best fajitas ever, and a much healthier version of the typically pan-fried fajitas you find in restaurants. I also like to serve them in flatbreads instead of tortillas. -Erin Michniacki, Manhattan, Kansas

Copycat Chili's Steak Fajitas image

If you love the steak fajitas at Chili's but don't want to leave the house (or spend the money), then this recipe is for you! It's a clone of the popular dish, and it tastes just like the real thing.

Time 8h2m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

Marinade
1 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup water
Fajitas
2 pounds sirloin or flank steak
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut in thin strips
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut in thin strips
1 onion, thinly sliced
6 flour tortillas, heated

Steps:

  • Combine the soy sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, ginger, and water in a non-reactive container or zip-top plastic bag. Mix well then remove 1/4 cup of the sauce and set aside. Add the beef to the container. Turn to coat the beef in the marinade and refrigerate it overnight. When ready to cook the fajitas, heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the meat from the marinade and slice it into 1/4-inch strips. Place the meat, bell peppers, and onion on the hot skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the meat is the desired doneness and the vegetables are cooked and charred. Drizzle the meat and veggies with the reserved sauce as needed to keep it from sticking. Serve the steak fajitas with warmed flour tortillas and any desired toppings such as guacamole, cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, etc.
