Grilled Flat Iron Steak Fajitas image

This is one recipe that my kids love. They are always within arms reach when the steaks are being cut up, begging for a bite.

Categories     Steaks and Chops

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 beef flank steaks
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp onion powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 green bell pepper
1 sweet yellow onion
1 tsp vegetable oil
shredded cheddar cheese
shredded lettuce
diced tomatoes
flour totillas
salsa
sour cream

Steps:

  • 1. Mix seasonings together and apply liberally to both sides of the steak. Alowl to sit and come to room temperature to avoid the meat shrinking and becoming tough on grill. I usually eyeball my seasonings, but I am estimating the amount I use in the measurements above.
  • 2. Cut and seed green bell pepper, rub with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cut ends off of onion and peel skin, coat with oil salt and pepper and wrap completely with aluminum foil.
  • 3. As soon as fire dies down on charcoal grill place your onion on the coals. This will need the most time to cook so as soon as I can I place it in the heat.
  • 4. Once coals are ready place flank steaks on grill. This meat is lean so there are not normally many flare ups from the fire. Allow meat to cook approx 10 minutes on each side, flipping only once. You want the meat to have a medium center so that it will retain moisture and juiciness. Once you have flipped the meat add your peppers to the grill and char each side. Remove meat from grill and let rest for about 10-15 minutes tented with foil so that juices can recirculate.
  • 5. Cut steaks in thin strips with a SHARP knife on the bias Cut peppers and onions into strips.
  • 6. Serve on tortillas and top with cheese, lettuce, sour cream, diced tomatoes, and salsa.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The steak was dry and the vegetables were bland.

The fajita seasoning in this recipe is perfect. It's not too spicy, but it has plenty of flavor.

I love that this recipe uses flat iron steak. It's a less expensive cut of meat, but it's just as tender and flavorful as more expensive cuts.
