Steak Marinade

Method

Marinating the Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the flank or skirt steak into the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 4 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.

Cooking the Steak and Preparing Fajitas

  1. 3

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill or charbroiler to high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat on the stove.

  2. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    While the steak is resting, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized.

  4. 6

    Slice the Steak

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

Serving the Fajitas

  1. 7

    Assemble Fajitas

    Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a microwave. To assemble, place a portion of steak and sautéed vegetables on each tortilla. Top with guacamole, sour cream, and fresh cilantro.

  2. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the fajitas. Enjoy your delicious marinated steak fajitas!
