Instructions

1. Marinate the Steak
Place the steak in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Whisk together the marinade ingredients and pour over the steak. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor).

2. Sear the Steak
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade and pat dry. Cook for about 4–5 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until medium-rare to medium. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips.

3. Cook the Veggies
In the same skillet, add a little oil and toss in the sliced peppers and onions. Sauté for about 5–7 minutes, until tender but still slightly crisp, and charred in spots.

4. Assemble and Serve
Warm the tortillas and load them up with sliced steak, sautéed veggies, and your favorite toppings. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a fresh burst of flavor.

Tips for the Best Steak Fajitas

• Use flank or skirt steak for the best texture and flavor. These cuts soak up marinade beautifully and cook quickly.

• Let the steak rest before slicing to keep the juices in.

• Slice against the grain to ensure tenderness.

• Double the marinade and use half for veggies or chicken the next day!

• Make it spicy with sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
