Steak Fajitas
Steak Fajitas
Fajitas are one of those classic dinners cooked and served sizzling in cast iron. This isn’t just everyday beef fajitas, this is steak fajitas, made with top sirloin steak. Using a quality steak means it will be tender and juicy inside the tortilla. This recipe is simple to make and can also be used for chicken--or both at the same time!

Prep time

Ingredients
- ¾ pound top sirloin steak
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon hot pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 flour tortillas (8 inch/20 cm)
- 1 yellow onion
- 2 bell peppers (red, green, yellow or orange)
- 6-8 flour tortillas, depending on size
Preparation
Slice steak into thin (fajitas sized) strips.
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, hot pepper flakes, black pepper and salt. Add steak strips to the bowl and coat thoroughly. Set the bowl aside.
Wrap tortillas in foil and place into a 200° oven for 5-10 minutes or until heated through.
Cut onions in half lengthwise and slice into strips. Cut the bell peppers in half and remove the core and seeds. Then slice them into strips.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil is about to smoke, add the onions and bell peppers and saute for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Add beef to the skillet. Saute for 3-4 minutes or until the strips lose their red color.
Return the onions and peppers to the skillet. Saute for an additional minute.
Serve immediately from the skillet with tortillas and your choice of rice, refried or black beans, guacamole, sour cream and salsa.
