Sure, here’s a simple steak fajitas recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) skirt steak, flank steak, or any preferred steak cut, thinly sliced against the grain
- 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Tortillas (flour or corn), for serving
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, chopped cilantro, lime wedges
Instructions:
- Marinate the Steak:
- In a bowl, combine the sliced steak with lime juice, chili powder, cumin powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the steak evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight for more flavor.
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook until they are softened and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Steak:
- In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Add the marinated steak slices in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Don’t overcrowd the skillet; you may need to cook the steak in batches.
- Combine Steak and Vegetables:
- Once the steak is cooked, return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the steak. Stir well to combine and heat through for another minute or so.
- Serve:
- Warm up the tortillas according to package instructions. Serve the steak and vegetable mixture on warm tortillas. Garnish with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges.
- Enjoy!
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious steak fajitas!
