Categories     main-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup olive oil, plus more as needed
3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 chipotle chiles in adobo
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
Juice of 2 limes, plus more as needed
Juice of 1 orange
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 1/4 pounds skirt steak, trimmed
2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced
1 large onion, thinly sliced
12 flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Combine the olive oil, cilantro, cumin, chipotles, garlic, lime juice, orange juice and 1 teaspoon salt in a 2-cup measuring cup or similar vessel. Using an immersion blender, puree the marinade until smooth. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag. Add the steak to the bag, then seal and shake to coat. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.
  • Preheat a ridged grill pan over medium-high heat (or prepare an outdoor grill).
  • Drain the marinade from the steak and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill pan. Grill the steak for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. (Depending on the size of your grill pan, you may need to cook in batches.) Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
  • Toss the bell peppers and onions with some olive oil and lime juice. Grill the vegetables until barely limp, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Turn any free burners to a medium-low flame. Place a tortilla on each flame and let char for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Flip and repeat on the second side. Wrap the tortillas in a clean tea towel to keep warm while you continue with the remaining tortillas.
  • Thinly slice the steak on a diagonal, against the grain. Serve with the warm tortillas and grilled vegetables.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the grill or grill pan
2 tablespoons plus 1/4 teaspoon chili-lime seasoning, such as Good & Gather™ Chili Lime Seasoning Blend
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 limes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 8-ounce New York strip steaks, about 1 inch thick, such as Good & Gather™ USDA Choice New York Strip Steak
3 bell peppers (about 1 1/2 pounds), stemmed, seeded and sliced 1/2 inch thick, such as Good & Gather™ Tri-Colored Bell Peppers
1 medium onion (about 8 ounces), halved and sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Eight 6-inch corn tortillas
Salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet on one side of a gas grill, preheat the grill to high and lightly oil the grates. Alternatively, lightly oil a large grill pan and preheat over high heat and preheat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat.
  • Mix the oil, 2 tablespoons chili-lime seasoning, garlic, the juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon salt and a generous amount of pepper in a large bowl. Place the steaks on a plate and spoon 3 tablespoons of the mixture on top, flipping so that both sides are nicely coated, spooning any marinade on the plate back onto the meat. Refrigerate covered for 15 minutes and up to 2 hours if time allows.
  • Put the peppers and onions in the large bowl with the remaining marinade and toss to coat evenly.
  • Place the steaks on the open side of the grill or on the grill pan and put the vegetables and any oil left in the bowl in the cast-iron skillet.
  • Cook the steaks, flipping once halfway through, until cooked through, about 8 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 2 minutes. Cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until softened and charred in some spots, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix the butter and remaining 1/4 teaspoon chili-lime seasoning in a small bowl. Wrap the tortillas loosely in foil and grill until warm, about 1 minute per side.
  • Thinly slice the steaks and add to the skillet with the vegetables. Top with the butter and quickly stir until melted and incorporated, about 1 minute.
  • Cut the remaining lime into wedges. Serve the steak and vegetables with the tortillas, salsa and lime wedges.

STEAK FAJITAS



Steak Fajitas image

Skirt steak is the traditional cut used for fajitas. It used to be inexpensive, but now it's not so cheap; oftentimes flank steak costs less. Either will be a good choice.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     tacos, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon cumin seeds, lightly toasted and ground
1 teaspoon chipotle or ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon salt, more to taste
1 1/4 pounds flank or skirt steak
Zest of 1 lime (2 teaspoons)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 large red or yellow onion, halved and sliced
2 red bell peppers (or 1 red and 1 orange or yellow), seeded and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 jalapeño or 2 serrano chiles, minced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
4 large flour or 8 corn tortillas
1 teaspoon grapeseed or canola oil
1 romaine heart, cut crosswise into 1-inch wide pieces
Salsa fresca, for serving (see recipe)
Queso fresco, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Combine 2 teaspoons ground cumin, the chile powder and 1 teaspoon salt. With a sharp knife, cut shallow crosshatched incisions across top and bottom surfaces of steak. Rub spice mix all over surface of steak. (It's best to wear gloves as the chile powder is hot.) Place steak in a resealable freezer bag.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice and zest, 1/4 cup olive oil, the Worcestershire sauce and half the garlic. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade and pour the rest into the bag with steak. Seal and move steak around in bag to coat thoroughly. Place on a sheet pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. Massage bag periodically to redistribute marinade. Refrigerate reserved marinade if cooking the next day.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until they soften and begin to color, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in bell peppers and chile. Cook, stirring, until peppers begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • Lower heat to medium, add remaining garlic and cumin, and salt to taste. Cook, stirring often, until peppers are nicely seared, softened and beginning to caramelize, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Pour in reserved 2 tablespoons marinade and scrape bottom of pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze. Stir in half the cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from heat but keep warm.
  • Wrap tortillas in foil and warm in a low oven, or wrap in a towel and warm in a steamer or in the microwave.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, or prepare a medium-hot grill. Remove meat from marinade and discard marinade. Pat meat dry with paper towels. If using a skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in skillet. (If your skillet is not large enough for the steak, cut it in half and cook in batches.) Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Meat should be medium rare. Remove to a cutting board, cover with foil and let sit for 10 minutes. Cut across the grain into 1/2- to 3/4-inch wide strips.
  • Arrange lettuce on a platter, then place steak next to lettuce. Tip juices from cutting board over meat and sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Serve vegetables on the same platter or separately, along with warm tortillas, salsa and crumbled queso fresco.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: Flank steak, skirt steak, or hanger steak are all good choices for fajitas. The meat should be sliced thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of spices and liquids helps tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Common ingredients used in fajita marinades include lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, chili powder, and cilantro.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Fajitas are traditionally cooked over a hot grill or griddle. This sears the meat quickly, creating a slightly charred exterior and a juicy interior.
  • Slice the steak thinly: Once the steak is cooked, it should be sliced thinly against the grain. This makes it easier to eat and helps the steak absorb the flavors of the marinade and toppings.
  • Serve the fajitas with your favorite toppings: Classic fajita toppings include grilled onions and peppers, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and cheese. You can also add other toppings such as shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and pico de gallo.
