Fajita Steak Marinade image

This one is the goods. I marinate my fajita beef steaks before grilling them whole over charcoal and then I slice them after they achieve medium rare doneness. This marinade provides the Tex-Mex flavor that you're seeking when making fajitas. I use both sirloin steaks (cut 2" thick) and flatiron steak for fajitas -- both are really tender and the marinade makes them even moreso. If you don't have rice vinegar, just use either plain white vinegar or white wine vinegar. This recipe will generate enough marinade for 4-5 pounds of meat. I hope you enjoy the flavor as much as we do!

Time 10m

Yield 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin powder
4 garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

  • Blend all ingredients.
  • In a casserole dish, roll steak in marinade until it is completely coated and marinate, covering the dish with cling wrap, overnight, turning the steaks at least once during the marinating process.
  • Be sure to grill your steaks over high, direct heat, either on a gas grill or charcoal grill. It will probably only take about 4-5 minutes per side.
