🌮 Sirloin Steak Fajitas
Ingredients:
For the Marinade:
- 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Juice of 2 limes
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Fajitas:
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 1 tbsp oil (for cooking)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Warm flour or corn tortillas
Optional toppings: Sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, salsa, chopped cilantro, lime wedges
🔥 Instructions:
- Marinate the steak:
- Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl or zip-top bag. Add steak slices and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for more flavor).
- Cook the veggies:
- In a large skillet or cast iron pan, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium-high heat.
- Add sliced peppers and onions. Cook until tender-crisp and slightly charred, about 6–8 minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the steak:
- In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed.
- Remove steak from marinade (shake off excess) and cook in batches over high heat for 1–2 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Don’t overcrowd the pan.
- Combine:
- Return veggies to the skillet and toss with steak until heated through.
- Serve:
- Warm tortillas and serve with your favorite toppings!
✅ Tips:
- Slice steak thinly against the grain to keep it tender.
- A cast iron skillet or grill pan gives the best sear.
- Can substitute sirloin with flank or skirt steak.
