### Steak Fajitas Recipe
**Ingredients:**
– **For the Marinade:**
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 pound flank steak or skirt steak
– **For the Fajitas:**
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 large onion, sliced
– 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Flour or corn tortillas, for serving
**Instructions:**
1. **Marinate the Steak:**
– In a bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients.
– Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best results.
2. **Cook the Steak:**
– Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
– Grill the steak for about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
– Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips.
3. **Prepare the Vegetables:**
– While the steak rests, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
– Add the sliced onions and bell peppers (and tomatoes, if using). Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
– Season with ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. **Assemble and Serve:**
– Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave.
– Serve the sliced steak and sautéed vegetables with the tortillas. You can also add your favorite toppings, like sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or shredded cheese.
