Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Flank steak
- 3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Red onion, sliced
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 8 Whole grain tortillas
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese (optional)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's well-coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for better flavor.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Sear the marinated steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Warm the whole grain tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
Assemble the fajitas by placing a portion of the cooked vegetables and sliced steak onto each tortilla. Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of feta cheese, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Steak Fajitas!
