Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1.5 lbs flank steak
  • 2 large bell peppers sliced
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fajita seasoning
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 8 count tortillas
  • salsa for serving
  • sour cream for serving

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Large skillet or cast-iron pan
  • Tongs

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips and slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.
  2. In a bowl, toss the sliced steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the fajita seasoning, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the seasoned steak to the hot skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness; remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
  3. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the same skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
  4. Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the vegetables, squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture, and toss everything to combine.
Serving
  1. Warm the tortillas according to package instructions and serve the steak and vegetable mixture immediately in the warm tortillas with salsa and sour cream.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight, in the fajita seasoning and lime juice. You can also add a splash of beef broth or water to the vegetables while they cook to help them steam and soften faster.
