Classic Tex Mex, fajitas (pronounced fah-hee-tas) are typically made with grilled strips of skirt steak with onions and bell peppers, and served sizzling hot with fresh tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa. You can make fajitas with steak or chicken, or even make it plain vegetarian. Here's a quick and easy recipe for steak fajitas. Ingredients:
1 lb of flank steak or skirt steak |
1 large yellow onion |
2 large bell peppers |
1 oz lime juice |
2 tablespoons of olive oil |
2 cloves garlic, peeled, minced |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded, ribs removed, finely chopped |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, including stems |
Directions:
1. Mix all marinade ingredients.
2. Set the steak in the marinade and let it sit at least an hour, the longer the better.
3. Heat to high heat a large cast iron pan or griddle.
4. Add a teaspoon of olive oil to the pan.
5. Add the steak, frying on each side for 3 minutes, or to desired doneness. 3 minutes per side will yield approximately medium rare doneness for an average cut of flank steak. If pan starts to smoke too much, reduce the heat to medium high. We want the steak browned, not burned.
6. Remove from pan and let sit for 5 minutes.
7. Reduce the pan heat to medium high.
8. Add a little more oil to the pan if necessary. Add the onions, bell peppers.
9. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, until the onions are slightly translucent.
10. Slice the meat against the grain into thin slices. If you slice the meat at a slanted angle, you will be able to get your slices pretty thin.
11. Serve immediately with shredded cheese, salsa, shredded iceberg lettuce, sour cream, guacamole and warm flour tortillas.
