Steps:
- Cut the skirt steak into 3 equal size pieces and place in a gallon-sized resealable bag.
- Combine the olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, salt, chile powder and cumin in a bowl. Reserve about 1/4 cup marinade in a squeeze bottle for later use, then pour the rest into the bag with the steaks. Seal the bag and press out all the air, making sure all sides of the steaks are evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the steaks from the bag and shake off any excess marinade. Place on a wire rack-lined baking sheet and return to the fridge, uncovered, for another 2 hours. (This will make sure the steaks get a beautiful rich color when seared.)
- Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon canola oil. Give the steaks a generous sprinkle of salt, then put in the hot skillet. Sear until a crust has developed, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board. Without cleaning the skillet, add the remaining tablespoon canola oil, followed by the peppers and onions, and cook until slightly softened, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice each steak in half with the grain. Now turn the steaks 90 degrees and slice against the grain into 1/4-inch strips. When the peppers and onions are almost finished cooking, add the steak to the hot skillet for a final sizzle and season with salt and pepper. Squirt the reserved marinade into the hot skillet to create a steamy sizzle. Serve with the tortillas and any toppings you wish.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
- Use a pastry brush to coat both sides of the bell peppers, onions and scallions with some of the oil, then sprinkle with a quarter of the spice mix. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel, then brush with the remaining canola oil and season with the remaining spice mix.
- Grill the steaks until grill marks appear and they start to char slightly, about 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Grill the peppers, onions and scallions until grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove everything to a cutting board. Coarsely chop the vegetables first to allow the steaks some time to rest. Slice the steaks against the grain into thin slices.
- Serve with the warm flour tortillas (I like to wrap a stack of tortillas in foil and warm on the grill) and sour cream, lettuce, guacamole, cheese and lime wedges.

Steps:
- 1. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/sauce-spread-spread/wet-rub-from-the-south.html
- 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 Steak: Select a skirt steak with good marbling for better flavor and tenderness.
- Marinate the Steak: Marinating the skirt steak helps tenderize and infuse flavor. Use a flavorful marinade with acidic ingredients like lime juice or vinegar to break down the meat.
- Slice the Steak Thinly: Cut the skirt steak against the grain into thin strips for optimal tenderness and even cooking.
- High Heat is Key: Cook the fajitas over high heat to quickly sear the meat and create a nice char.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan with steak strips, as this will prevent even cooking and may cause the meat to steam rather than sear.
- Grill the Vegetables Separately: To prevent the vegetables from steaming, grill them separately from the steak. This will ensure they retain their crispness and flavor.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will elevate the flavors of your fajitas.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the fajitas immediately after cooking to enjoy them at their best.
