Steak Marinade

Method

Marinating the Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  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 is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Cooking the Vegetables

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.

  2. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 5

    Cook the Steak

    In the same skillet, increase the heat to high. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare.

  2. 6

    Rest and Slice the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

Assembling the Fajitas

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In the skillet, combine the sliced steak and sautéed vegetables, tossing to mix and heat through.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Serve the steak and vegetable mixture on tortillas with sour cream, shredded cheese, and guacamole as toppings.
