Grilled Steak Fajitas

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 flour tortillas
• Homemade guacamole
• Sour cream
• Shredded cheese
• Pico de gallo
• Fresh lime wedges

Instructions

1. Prepare the Fajita Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes to let the flavors meld together before using.
2. Marinate the Steak: Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (204°C). If you're using a cast iron skillet, place it on the grill to heat as well.
4. Grill the Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Place the steak on the preheated grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
5. Cook the Vegetables: While the steak rests, add the sliced onions and peppers to the cast iron skillet or directly on the grill. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Slice the Steak: After the steak has rested for about 5 minutes, slice it against the grain into thin strips.
7. Assemble the Fajitas: Warm the flour tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side. Fill each tortilla with a few slices of steak, grilled onions, and peppers. Add fajita toppings like homemade guacamole, sour cream, and shredded cheese as desired. For added zest, squeeze a lime wedge over the assembled fajitas before serving.
