Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 packet fajita seasoning
- Flour tortillas
Optional Toppings
- Sour cream
- Guacamole
- Salsa
- Shredded cheese
Instructions
- Cook the steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the flank steak for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest to retain its juices.
- Cook the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced red and green bell peppers and onion. Sauté them until tender, approximately 5-7 minutes, using the pan juices for added flavor.
- Slice the steak: Once rested, slice the flank steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
- Combine steak and vegetables: Return the sliced steak to the skillet with the cooked vegetables. Sprinkle the fajita seasoning over the mixture and stir well to coat everything evenly and heat through.
- Serve: Warm the flour tortillas and serve the sizzling steak and vegetable mixture on them. Add optional toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese according to your preference.
Notes
- Resting the steak after cooking helps keep it juicy and tender.
- Slicing against the grain is key for tender steak slices.
- You can substitute flank steak with skirt steak if preferred.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for best results before serving.
- Adjust fajita seasoning amount to taste or make your own blend for a personalized touch.
