Steak Marinade

Tortillas and Garnishes

Method

Marinating the Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the flank or skirt steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

Cooking the Vegetables

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Grilling the Steak

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill

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

  2. 5

    Grill the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy, aiming for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

  3. 6

    Let it Rest

    Once the steak is cooked to your preference, remove it from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Fajitas

  1. 7

    Slice the Steak

    Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Assemble fajitas by placing the sliced steak, sautéed onions and peppers, and garnishing with chopped cilantro, sour cream, and salsa.
