Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 large bell peppers (sliced (multiple colors preferred))
1 medium red onion (sliced)
8 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 1/2 pounds flank steak (thinly sliced against the grain)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
10 small flour tortillas (for serving)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together cumin, chili powder, onion powder, salt, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, let heat for a minute, and then add in your sliced bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms. Saute until the vegetables are tender crisp (7-10 minutes).
  • During the last two minutes of cooking add in half of your seasoning mix and the minced garlic. Cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the pan and transfer to a serving dish, but keep the skillet hot.
  • Return the skillet to high heat. Add the thinly sliced flank steak to the hot skillet and sprinkle in the remainder of the seasoning mixture, and worcestershire sauce. Cook the steak, tossing constantly, until the meat is browned about 2 to 3 minutes for medium rare. Flank steak is best eaten medium rare. For well done, add an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
  • When the meat is cooked, add the vegetables back in. Drizzle in lime juice and toss together.
  • Serve on a warm tortilla. Serve plain or top with sour cream, cilantro, guacamole, or salsa.

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 pounds skirt steak
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for the grill grates
1/2 lime, juiced
1/2 orange, juiced
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
2 cloves garlic, finely grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large avocados, pitted and peeled
1/2 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon minced jalapeno
Kosher salt
18 flour tortillas, warmed in the microwave
2 cups pico de gallo
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • For the fajitas: In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, combine the steak, onions, green peppers and red peppers with the oil, lime juice, orange juice, coriander, cumin, cayenne, garlic, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Rub well with your hands to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • For the guacamole: Mash the avocados with the lime juice in a medium bowl. Stir in the red onion, cilantro and jalapeno and season with salt. If not serving right away, press plastic wrap to seal the surface and prevent browning.
  • Prepare an outdoor grill or large 2-burner grill pan for medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill grates with oil.
  • If necessary, cut the steak into lengths that will fit on your grill. Grill the steak, turning once, until well-marked and cooked to medium-rare, 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Transfer to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil.
  • Add the onions and peppers (from the marinade) to the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and slightly softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large platter.
  • Thinly slice the steak against the grain and transfer to the platter with the grilled vegetables.
  • Serve with the warm tortillas, guacamole, pico de gallo and cilantro.

GRILLED STEAK FAJITAS



Grilled Steak Fajitas image

This tasty main dish is as quick and easy to assemble as tacos. Marinating the meat overnight makes it very tender. We like the hearty and flavorful steak slices. I serve the fajitas with Spanish rice, refried beans and a gelatin dessert. -Pamela Pogue, Quitman, Texas
