Description
Enjoy these flavorful steak fajitas that are easy to prepare and perfect for any family gathering!
Ingredients
- Flank Steak: A tender cut to marinate and grill, giving robust flavor and texture.
- Olive Oil: Essential for marinating the steak and adding moisture while grilling.
- Bell Peppers: Colorful veggies that add sweet crunch; use a mix of green, red, and yellow for vibrancy.
- Onion: Sliced onion complements the peppers and steak perfectly.
- Garlic: Freshly minced for aromatic flavor in the marinade.
- Spices: Chili powder, cumin, and paprika add warmth and depth to the dish.
- Flour Tortillas: For wrapping your fajita fillings; they can be small or large depending on preference.
- Favorite Toppings: Avocado, sour cream, salsa, and cheese for customizable serving options.
Instructions
- Start by marinating the flank steak. In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and a pinch of salt. Add the flank steak to the bowl, ensuring it’s well coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably, overnight.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off.
- Grill the steak for about 6-8 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- While the steak rests, add sliced bell peppers and onions to the grill or skillet. Sauté until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the steak is rested, slice it thinly against the grain. Serve sliced steak with sautéed peppers and onions on warm tortillas, allowing everyone to create their own fajitas.
Notes
- Choose Quality Meat: Opt for fresh flank steak for the best flavor and tenderness.
- Adjust Seasoning: Feel free to tailor the spices in the marinade to fit your family’s taste preferences.
- Warm Tortillas: Always warm your tortillas before serving to enhance the overall fajita experience.
