Serving size:
6 fajitas
Prep time:
30 minutes to 2 hours to marinate
Cook time:
5 minutes
Directions:
- Place beef in ziplock bag and add marinade ingredients. Shake well to coat beef. Marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Discard marinade, pat meat dry and season to taste.
- Combine salsa ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- Heat oil in pan and cook beef on medium high for 3-4 minutes each side for medium rare or until springy to the touch. Transfer to a board and let stand 5-10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
- While beef is resting, heat remaining oil in skillet or non-stick pan on high heat and stir-fry peppers and onion until soft and slightly caramelized, about 4-5 minutes. Add beef and toss just to heat through.
Fill warm tortillas with beef and vegetables and serve with salsa, lime and cilantro. Accompany with a bottle of Mexican beer!
Chef’s Note: If preferred, you can slice beef before cooking and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, or until just cooked, then add to the stir-fried vegetables.
