Steak fajitas are a flavorful Tex-Mex dish that consist of grilled steak, onions, and bell peppers, served in a warm tortilla with toppings like guacamole, salsa, and cheese. Here’s a recipe for making Steak Fajitas at home:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb flank steak, sliced into thin strips
- 2 bell peppers, sliced into thin strips
- 1 onion, sliced into thin strips
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Flour tortillas, warmed, for serving
- Toppings, such as shredded cheese, guacamole, salsa, and sour cream, as desired
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Brush the steak strips with a little bit of oil, and sprinkle the spice mixture over the steak, rubbing it in to coat.
- Grill the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
- Add the cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables and stir to combine.
- Serve the steak fajita mixture in warm flour tortillas, along with your favorite toppings.
