Seared-Steak Fajitas image

For a fast, low-calorie dinner, try this Tex-Mex classic. It uses top round steak, which is a very lean cut of beef, plus it packs plenty of fresh flavor. Other lean cuts of beef, like eye of round or top sirloin, will also work in this recipe.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 pound top round steak
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (from 3 limes), plus wedges for serving
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 medium green bell peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
1 large white onion, halved and thinly sliced
8 corn tortillas, warmed
1/2 cup grated white cheddar (2 ounces)
1 large tomato, chopped
Cilantro sprigs, for serving

Steps:

  • In a shallow dish or bowl, combine steak, soy sauce, and 1/4 cup lime juice. Refrigerate 1 hour, turning steak occasionally. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon lime juice. Set garlic oil aside.
  • Remove steak from marinade and blot dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. In a cast-iron or heavy skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Cook steak until medium-rare, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and loosely tent with foil.
  • Add peppers and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in reserved garlic oil. Thinly slice steak and serve with vegetables, tortillas, cheese, tomato, and cilantro.

These fajitas were delicious, but they were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

These fajitas were really good, but they were a lot of work to make. I think I'll save this recipe for special occasions.

I had some trouble getting the steak to cook evenly. Some pieces were overcooked while others were still raw. I think I'll try cooking the steak in a skillet next time instead of on the grill.

These fajitas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll definitely be making them again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.
