  2. Add the flank steak to the marinade, making sure every inch is coated. Cover it up and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, but overnight is where the real flavor happens.
  3. When you’re ready to grill, preheat that grill to medium-high heat. Take the steak out, and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  4. Grill the steak for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until it’s cooked to your liking. Once done, let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
  5. While the steak is resting, toss the sliced peppers and onions onto the grill. Grill them until they’re tender and slightly charred.
  6. Slice the steak against the grain and serve it with the grilled veggies in warm tortillas.
  7. Top with your favorite fixings and dig in!

And there you have it, folks! A feast that’s sure to make your taste buds dance. Enjoy those steak fajitas!
