Ingredients

Steak:
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons hot smoked Spanish paprika
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 pounds skirt steak, cut into 4 equal pieces
Vegetables and assembly:
1/2 medium head green cabbage, cut into 2 wedges, core intact
1 large white onion, halved with some root end attached
1 bunch scallions, trimmed
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 freshly ground pepper
1/4 small red onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Warm flour tortillas (for serving)
Dried Chile Salsa

Steps:

For steak:
Purée garlic, lime juice, oil, paprika, cilantro, cumin, salt, and onion powder in a blender until smooth. Transfer marinade to a resealable plastic bag and add steak. Seal bag and turn to coat; chill at least 4 hours.
DO AHEAD: Steak can be marinated 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
For vegetables and assembly:
Prepare grill for medium-high heat. (Alternatively, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.) Drizzle cabbage, white onion, and scallions with 4 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until vegetables are charred and softened, about 4 minutes for scallions, 10-12 minutes for cabbage and onion. Let vegetables cool slightly.
Core cabbage and cut into bite-size pieces along with scallions and onion. Toss chopped vegetables in a large bowl with red onion, lime juice, cilantro, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper.
Remove steak from marinade, scraping off excess; season with salt and pepper. Grill steak until medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve steak with vegetables, tortillas, and Dried Chile Salsa.

Steps:

2. Mix together spices in small bowl. Wipe beef dry, rub with olive oil, and spices. Wrap in plastic wrap, refrigerate.
3. Marinated overnight or for a few hours before cooking. Remove & bring to room temp 1/2 hour before grilling.
4. Slice veggies up & place in large bowl, sprinkle with olive oil & preferred spices, toss. Place on baking sheet appropriate for grilling.
5. Grill veggies before or during fajatia grilling. Grill skirt steak on each side for about 20 min. on med. high grill heat. This is best eaten medium rare. The longer you cook it, the tougher it gets.
6. Let rest for 20 min., then slice thinly against the grain. Since the grain run across the skirt steak you need to slice it crossways in about 3" strips, then go back & slice the strips against the grain. Place on warm tortilla, top with cheese & grilled veggies. Garnish with salsa, sour creme or pico de gallo.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of steak: Skirt steak is the traditional choice for fajitas, but flank steak or hanger steak can also be used. Look for meat that is well-marinated and has a good amount of marbling.
Slice the steak thinly: This will help it cook quickly and evenly. Cut the steak against the grain for more tender fajitas.
Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the steak and keep it juicy on the inside. Cook the steak for a few minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your fajitas. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices. You can also add your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
Serve the fajitas immediately: Fajitas are best served hot off the grill. Serve them with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:
