Method
Marinade Preparation
Prepare the Marinade
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Marinate the Steak
Place the steak in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Cooking the Vegetables
Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced bell peppers and onion, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Cooking the Steak
Cook the Steak
In the same skillet, add the marinated steak. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare).
Serving
Assemble the Fajitas
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. On each tortilla, layer the sliced steak, sautéed peppers, and onions. Add a dollop of sour cream, guacamole, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Garnish and Serve
Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the fajitas. Enjoy your sizzling steak fajitas!
