Instructions
- Begin by marinating the beef steak. In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Coat the beef generously with this mixture and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, heat a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat.
- Add a tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the thinly sliced bell peppers and onions until they’re softened and have a slight char, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove them and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the marinated beef steak. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they have a good sear and are cooked to your preferred doneness.
- Once cooked, remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing it against the grain into thin strips.
- To assemble the fajitas, take a tortilla, place a few slices of beef, followed by the sautéed bell peppers and onions. Fold and it’s ready to be devoured!
Tips
- Marinating the beef for longer, preferably a couple of hours, will intensify the flavors.
- For an extra kick, consider adding sliced jalapeños to the veggies while sautéing.
- Warming the tortillas briefly in the skillet or oven enhances their flavor and makes them more pliable.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve the Beef Fajitas with fresh guacamole, salsa, and sour cream on the side.
- A fresh sprinkle of cilantro and a drizzle of lime can elevate the flavors further.
- Consider accompanying this dish with a side of seasoned rice or beans.
