🔥 How to Make Spicy Steak Fajitas
- Marinate the Steak:
In a bowl or zip-top bag, mix steak with olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and spices. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for deeper flavor). - Cook the Veggies:
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced peppers and onions. Sauté until soft and slightly charred, about 6–8 minutes. Remove and set aside. - Sear the Steak:
In the same skillet, add the marinated steak in batches (avoid overcrowding). Cook 2–3 minutes per side, or until nicely browned and cooked to your desired doneness. - Combine & Sizzle:
Return the veggies to the skillet and toss with the steak. Cook for another minute to combine and heat through. - Serve:
Spoon the steak and pepper mixture into warm tortillas. Top with your favorite extras and enjoy while hot!
🌮 Tips & Variations
- Make it Milder: Skip the red pepper flakes and use sweet paprika instead of smoked.
- Add More Heat: Drizzle with hot sauce or serve with jalapeños.
- Grill Option: Cook steak and veggies on a hot grill for extra charred flavor.
- Meal Prep Friendly: Marinate the steak ahead of time and cook just before serving.
