Tips:

  • For tender and flavorful fajitas, use flank steak or skirt steak. These cuts of beef are thin and have a good amount of marbling, which makes them perfect for fajitas.
  • Cook the steak over high heat to get a nice sear on the outside and keep the inside juicy and tender. If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the steak in a hot skillet.
  • Be sure to thinly slice the steak against the grain before serving. This will make the fajitas easier to eat and more enjoyable.
  • Serve the fajitas with your favorite toppings, such as grilled peppers and onions, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and shredded cheese. You can also wrap the fajitas in tortillas and serve them with a side of rice and beans.
