Easy Steak Fajitas

steak fajitas and peppers in a cast iron skillet sprinkled with cilantro surrounded by salsa, guacamole and corn tortillas
  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  14 min
  • Cook Time:  10 min

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (from 1 lime)
  • ¼ cup Taco Seasoning
  • ¼ cup soy sauce or tamari
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro, plus more for serving
  • 1½ pounds skirt, flank, or flat iron steak
  • 3 bell peppers, ½-inch sliced (we like to get different colors!)
  • 1 red or white onion

For serving

  • 12 corn or flour tortillas, warmed, for serving
  • Sour cream, for serving
  • Guacamole, for serving
  • Salsa, for serving

Method

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, lime juice, taco seasoning, soy sauce, and cilantro.

  2. Place the steak on a rimmed sheet pan. Pour all but ¼ cup of marinade over top. Let marinate covered in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 8 hours.

  3. Toss the peppers and onion with the remaining marinade in the large bowl.

  4. Preheat the grill over high heat, 450°F-500°F. Transfer the steak to the grill, discarding marinade, and cook, undisturbed, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F., 4-5 minutes each side. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.

  5. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and onion to the skillet and cook, stirring often, until slightly charred, 6-8 minutes.

  6. Thinly slice the steak and serve family-style with charred vegetables, tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side.
