No grilling required, only one pan, and a handful of ingredients required for one of the best meals out there.
Flank Steak – You’ll need a 2 pound flank steak. If serving a bigger crowd, you can easily double this recipe. I usually buy my flank steak at Costco, they come in a package of two and are more affordable this way. Bell Peppers – I love using different colors of bell peppers because it just looks more colorful and we eat with our eyes first. You’ll want to cut the bell peppers in thin long strips. Onions – You’ll need a large white or yellow onion here. Feel free to use a couple onions if you like lots of onions in your fajitas. Fajita Seasoning – I love making my own fajita seasoning, really easy to make your own, however, store bought seasoning is fine. Olive oil – A little bit of olive oil, extra virgin or regular. Lime Juice – Lots of freshly squeezed lime juice.
Can I Use A Different Cut Of Beef?
You can use skirt steak as well, which is usually tougher than flank but has more intense flavor. The cooking time will be the same for skirt steak.
How Do I Know When My Flank Steak Is Cooked?
You’ll want the flank steak cooked to medium-rare for these steak fajitas. The best way to check for this is using a meat thermometer. For medium-rare the thermometer should read 130°F when inserted in the thickest part of the steak. After you remove it from the oven, immediately cover it with aluminum foil. The temperature of the meat will continue to rise another 5°F during this carryover cooking time. The final temperature will be 135°F.
Can I Grill The Steak?
Absolutely! With summer quickly approaching, we love being outdoors and using that grill as much as possible. Simply preheat your grill, whether it’s gas or charcoal, to high heat, and grill the steak for 3 to 4 minutes per side.
How To Assemble Fajitas
It’s best to bring the sheet pan to the table and let everyone assemble their own fajitas with their favorite toppings. Here are a few suggestions of what to serve them with.
