📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

2. Place the skirt steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best results.

3. While the steak marinates, prepare the vegetables by slicing the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.

4. Heat a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and allow it to heat up.

5. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place it in the hot skillet. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.

6. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips against the grain.

7. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Toss in the sliced bell peppers and onion, and sauté for 5-6 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

8. Warm the tortillas in a separate dry skillet or in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel.

9. To assemble the fajitas, lay a few slices of steak and a heaping spoonful of sautéed vegetables onto a warm tortilla. Garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and guacamole if desired.

10. Serve immediately and enjoy your sizzling steak fajitas!
