Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Large onion, sliced
- 8 Tortillas (flour or corn)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup Salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the steak. Seal or cover, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for best flavor.
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the pan.
Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Place the steak in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness.
Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
While the steak rests, add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet (adding a bit more oil if needed). Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute until pliable.
Assemble the fajitas by adding slices of steak, sautéed vegetables, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro to each tortilla.
Serve with optional toppings such as sour cream and salsa. Enjoy immediately!
