Number Of Ingredients 19

2 lbs flank steak
2 large limes
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp olive oil
3 large garlic cloves, (grated)
1 tbsp chili powder
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

1/2 tsp paprika
2 large bell peppers, (sliced)
1 medium onion, (sliced)
8 small flour tortillas
Sour Cream
Guacamole
Avocado Slices
Tomatoes (diced )
Extra Sour Cream (for serving)

Steps:

  • Add flank steak to a large plastic ziplock bag. Add lime juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne to the bag as well. Zip up. Massage marinade into meat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 8.
  • Preheat the grill to a high heat - about 450 degrees. Place a grill pan or sheet on one side of the grill. Once the steak has marinated, remove and sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt on both sides. Add the peppers and onions to a medium bowl. Toss with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and a little bit of pepper.
  • Add the pepper to the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes and then add steak on the uncovered side of the grill. Use tongs to toss the peppers. Close the grill. Let the steak cook for about 4 minutes. Use tongs to flip the steak over. Toss the peppers again. If they are charred enough, remove from the grill.
  • Cook the steak another 3-4 minutes or until it reaches your desired doneness. (For skirt steak you really want medium-rare to medium which is an internal temperature of 140-145 degrees. It will increase 5 degrees as it rests. Remove the steak and peppers from the grill. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the steak against the grain into thin slices. Serve in warm tortillas with your favorite toppings.

This tasty main dish is as quick and easy to assemble as tacos. Marinating the meat overnight makes it very tender. We like the hearty and flavorful steak slices. I serve the fajitas with Spanish rice, refried beans and a gelatin dessert. -Pamela Pogue, Quitman, Texas

Time 3h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (1 1/4 pound) flank steak
1 tablespoon salt, divided
1 tablespoon ground black pepper, divided
2 limes
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 large green bell pepper, cut into strips
1 large red onion, cut into strips
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 serving olive oil cooking spray
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 (10 ounce) package flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Coat both sides of the flank steak with 1 tablespoon each salt and pepper, pressing into the steak. Place in a large freezer bag. Cut both limes in half and squeeze juice into the bag; add chili powder. Make sure all is mixed well and remove the air from the bag. Place in a refrigerator and marinate for about 3 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Season bell pepper and red onion with salt and pepper. Place in a grill pan and set aside.
  • Put black beans in a small pot on the stove over medium heat to heat through.
  • Cook steak on the preheated grill until browned on one side, 5 to 7 minutes. Spray vegetables with cooking spray and place them on the grill. Cook until vegetables begin to caramelize, turning often so they don't burn, and steak is beginning to firm and is hot and slightly pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium doneness. Remove steak and vegetables from the grill.
  • Slice steak into thin strips. Place beans, steak, vegetables, and Mexican cheese onto the tortillas and serve.

1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Toss the garlic, onions, poblanos and bell peppers with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and spread onto a 20-inch-long piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bring the 2 sides together and fold over twice to seal. Bring the ends of the foil in and up and seal. Set aside.

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right steak: For fajitas, you'll want a flank steak or skirt steak. These cuts are relatively thin and cook quickly, making them ideal for fajitas.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a mixture of olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and cumin will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can marinate the steak for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside tender.
  • Slice the steak against the grain: This will make the steak more tender and easier to chew.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include grilled onions, peppers, guacamole, salsa, and sour cream.

Conclusion:

Grilled steak fajitas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a weekend party. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
