Beef Fajitas




or the old-fashioned tortilla way.


My husband LOVES fajitas, so he was quite excited when I made these delicious Beef Fajitas.
If you're on a low carb diet, I did some like that as well using lettuce cups instead of the tortilla.

1 whole Beef Flank Steak
1/2 cup Olive Oil
3 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
1/3 cup Lime Juice, Fresh Squeezed, about 3
3 cloves Garlic, Minced
1 Tablespoon Cumin
1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
1 Tablespoon Sugar
2 whole Medium Onions, Halved And Sliced
1 whole Red Bell Pepper, Sliced
1 whole Orange Bell Pepper, Sliced
1 whole Green Bell Pepper, Sliced
1 whole Yellow Bell Pepper, Sliced
 Oil, For Frying
 Flour Tortillas, Warmed
 Cheese (grated Cheddar/jack Or Crumbled Queso Fresco)
 Salsa
 Sour Cream
 Cilantro Leaves

Preparation Instructions

In a dish, mix together olive oil, Worcestershire, lime juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and sugar until combined. 

Pour half of the marinade into a separate dish. 
In one dish, place the flank steak, turning it over to coat.

 In the second dish, place all the veggies, turning to coat. 
Cover the dishes with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Prepare tortillas, salsa, sour cream, and cilantro.
Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in some oil. 
Add the veggies and cook them for a few minutes, until they're cooked but still slightly firm and have nice black/brown pieces.


Remove to a plate and set aside.
Heat the same same skillet (or a grill pan if you have it) over high heat and drizzle some oil. 
Cook the meat for about 2 minutes per side until medium rare.
 Remove and allow to rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
Slice the meat right before serving and serve with all the fixins.
