Steak Marinade

Vegetables

Method

Steak Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight for best flavor.

Cooking the Vegetables

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the steak is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.

  2. 4

    Grill the Vegetables

    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 5

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat the grill to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  2. 6

    Slice the Steak

    After resting, slice the steak into thin strips against the grain.

Serving

  1. 7

    Assemble the Fajitas

    On a serving plate, layer the sliced steak, grilled vegetables, and queso fresco. Serve with warm tortillas, black refried beans, rice, and a side of lettuce topped with sour cream.
