Fajitas Beef Recipe

Fajitas Beef Directions

1. 1

   Preparing the Marinade

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

2. 2

   Marinating the Beef

   Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

3. 3

   Preparing the Vegetables

   While the beef is marinating, slice the bell pepper and red onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves.

4. 4

   Cooking the Beef

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the beef in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.

5. 5

   Cooking the Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper, red onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

6. 6

   Slicing the Beef

   After the beef has rested, slice it against the grain into thin strips.

7. 7

   Assembly

   Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. To assemble, layer the sliced beef, sautéed vegetables, fresh cilantro, sour cream, and salsa on each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas and serve immediately.
