Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs Skirt steak
  • 3 large Bell peppers (assorted colors)
  • 1 large Onion
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
Fajita Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Chili powder
  • 1 tbsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the skirt steak against the grain into thin strips and set aside.
  2. Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips, preparing them for cooking.
Cooking
  1. In a small bowl, combine all fajita seasoning ingredients to create your spice blend.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook for 3-5 minutes until browned, then remove from the pan.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same pan. Sauté the bell peppers and onions for 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
  4. Return the steak to the pan with the vegetables, sprinkle the fajita seasoning over everything, and toss to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well mixed and heated through.
Serving
  1. Serve the steak fajitas immediately with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the steak in lime juice for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust the spice level of the fajita seasoning to your preference.
