Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Flank steak
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Lime juice
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 3 medium Bell peppers (red, green, yellow), sliced
- 1 large Onion, sliced
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 8 Tortillas
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional)
- 0.5 cup Guacamole (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and honey to form the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the steak. Seal the bag, ensuring the steak is fully coated, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Cook the steak on the grill for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into thin strips against the grain.
While the steak is resting, heat a grill pan or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, then cook the sliced bell peppers and onion until they are slightly charred and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side.
Assemble the fajitas by filling each tortilla with slices of steak, cooked peppers and onions, and your desired toppings such as chopped cilantro, sour cream, or guacamole.
Serve immediately and enjoy your marinated grilled beef fajitas!
