🔥 Step 1: Infuse the Flavor – Marinate the Steak
Start by creating a bold marinade:
- In a bowl, combine lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Add the sliced steak to a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it.
- Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the meat to soak up all those vibrant flavors.
🍳 Step 2: Sizzle the Steak
When you’re ready to cook:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated steak slices and cook until browned and cooked to your liking.
- Remove the steak from the pan and set it aside.
🫑 Step 3: Cook the Veggies
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Toss in the sliced onions and bell peppers.
- Sauté until they’re soft, slightly caramelized, and fragrant.
- Return the steak to the pan, stir everything together, and cook for an extra minute to blend the flavors.
🌮 Step 4: Build Your Fajitas
- Warm your flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until they’re soft and flexible.
- Spoon the steak and veggie mixture onto each tortilla.
- Add any extras you like—cheese, sour cream, guac, or salsa—for added texture and richness.
