Mexican Steak Fajitas

Ingredients

To whip up these scrumptious steak fajitas, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 ½ lbs flank steak
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Tortillas for serving
  • Optional toppings: avocado, salsa, cilantro, and lime wedges

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to make your steak fajitas:

  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Place the flank steak in the marinade, making sure it’s well coated. Allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes—an hour is even better!
  3. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the steak from the marinade and set aside the remaining marinade.
  4. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, cooking longer for desired doneness. Once cooked, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain.
  5. In the same grill or skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred.
  6. Slice the steak into strips and mix with the grilled vegetables. Warm your tortillas for a few seconds on the grill or in a pan.
  7. Serve the steak and veggie mixture on the tortillas and don’t forget the optional toppings! Enjoy your flavorful Mexican feast!
