Juice of 1 lime. Mix all marinade ingredients. Coat the steak with the marinade and let it sit at room temperature for an hour, or longer in the fridge. Before you cook the meat, wipe off most of the marinade and sprinkle the steak with salt.
Set a large cast iron pan or griddle over high heat and let this heat up for minutes. Add the tablespoon of oil to the pan and let this heat up for 1 minute.
Add the steak, frying on each side for 3 minutes, or to desired doneness. Carne asada and skirt steak will need less time. If the pan starts to smoke too much, reduce the heat to medium-high.
You want the steak browned, not burned. Remove from pan and let sit, tented with foil, for 5 minutes. Add a little more oil to the pan if necessary, then add the onions and bell peppers. Let these sear for 1 minute before stirring, then stir every 90 seconds or so as the veggies sear. Cook for minutes total. If you slice the meat at an angle, you will be able to get your slices pretty thin. Maybe not the flour tortillas but, OK.
Thank you so much this is a SAVE and it is better than restaurant quality. A true gem in my cookbook. A perfect recipe for a flat griddle on the backyard gas BBQ. But I have to admit, I cheated, because I buy packages of frozen peppers and onions, and thaw them while in the marinade.
It saves a step or two, and no-one would ever know. This recipe is the best!! Absolutely the best. I grilled on a charcoal grill. This is hands down the best fajitas Ive ever had!!
I had to review it again because i forgot to give it 5 stars. But honestly, i give it 10 stars!! And this will be a staple in my house!!! My 16 year old son said we need to put this in our regular meal rotation!
Is this enough marinade? I hope you enjoy. This was a perfect marinaid. I did not follow the instruction for the meat. I used meat rub and grilled petite sirlion, sliced it up and placed a deep baking sheet on the grill where I mixed and sauteed using the other half of the marinaid.
Perfect amount of heat. My best ever. The family loved it! Spoon the yoghurt over each tortilla and garnish with the coriander. Serve immediately, with extra lime wedges for squeezing.

As the meat was resting, I cooked the veggies in the same skillet and splashed some of the marinade in for flavor. Even the picky 4 year old ate some, and the fiancee went back for seconds. Does the 3 tablespoons of olive oil go in with the other ingredients to make the marinade or is it just 1 tablespoon for the marinade, 1 for the steak and 1 for the veggies?
If you feel the steak will stick to the skillet, you can add a small drizzle before cooking it. My san antonio college labmate had me over one weekend and got to see a large family version. Using canned pineapples chunks liquid and canned grapefruit juice.
Drained Pineapples where used in a sheet pan version of upside down cake. Beef started afternoon Saturday, drained then dry spices added Sunday before Mass, after Church grilled at nearby park.
I bought the pre-cut sirloin from the store. Will that change the cooking time since they are already sliced? Hi Emy!
Yes, pre-cut sirloin will have a different cooking time than the whole skirt or flank steak. Just the right amount of spice. And I used the same cast iron skillet which still had some of the marinade flavor to heat the flour tortillas.
Made this tonight and it was a hit with my family! Even my husband who can be picky about recipes that I find. I marinated the meat over night and it was so good!!! I used flank steak and grilled it. The flavor was incredible! For those who worried about spice, this was not spicy at all.
I did use fresh lime juice as well. This is definitely a keeper!! I am getting ready to start marinading the meat for dinner tomorrow and thought it would be great to have it all chopped and sliced and together soaking up all the marinades flavors. I personally enjoy the natural flavor of the peppers and onions, so I opted to leave them as is.
Not too sure how well the veggies would hold up because of all the acid in the marinade if you were to marinate them overnight. These were excellent! I let them marinade for over 24 hours. This will be my new go to faijtas marinade!
I had never used smoked paprika before and was a little leary of its strong smokey smell so I just used a slightly rounded half teaspoon. Also, I like things on the hot side so I used a full teaspoon of red pepper flakes. These were by far the best steak fajitas I have ever made.
I attribute the difference to the smokey paprika and the Worcestershire sauce. They were even more flavorful the next day. I used flank steak and yes the pineapple juice did help in tenderizing it.
Thank you for a great steak fajita recipe! Oh my…my there little lady… I love grilling, and cooking stuff like this. So GOOD!!! My entire family loved it. I cooked it in a crockpot on high for 5 hours 4 pds steak strips. This will be one of my go to recipes from now on! Did you put all the ingredients steak and veggies in the crockpot? Did you change anything? Do you happen to know if any good substitutes for Worcestershire sauce?
Just not sure if it will be the same without the sauce added. Hey Allison! Tamarind paste is usually sold in the international aisle of most grocery stores and you should be able to find it easily. Hope you enjoy the fajitas! This was fantastic. Made these fajitas tonight for dinner and they were by far the best I have ever made. This recipe will become a regular in our home. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
This is a very nice recipe — good flavour and a much healthier alternative to the packaged mixes for fajitas. I actually used this on some leftover steak — marinated for a few hours and reheated. Will definitely be using this recipe from now on. We loved it! I used flank steak and marinated for 24 hours! This recipe has become a family favorite! I have also made the recipe with chicken and it was really good.
I made this dish for a Friday meal; following the recipe, it turned out good! But Saturday I kicked it up a notch I added brown sugar. Love this recipe. I love this recipe! I kept the meat and veggies on a minimal amount of time — the steak was rare and the veggies were tender but definitely not burnt, but I still got the burnt-on marinade!
Is this happening to other people or am I doing something wrong with either the recipe or my pan maintenance? How new is your cast iron skillet? You may need to season it before you use it.
I prefer to cook bacon in mine to season it, just cook an entire thing of bacon nonstop. You can use the bacon for breakfast burritos or something else. This allows the bacon grease to really soak into the cast iron. This was SO good!! Only thing I did different was we grilled the meat and with the veggies we grilled them up in a grill pan. It was fantastic! My 11yr old who is a picky eater came back for seconds.
Thank you for the best fajitas, way better then any restaurant. I had some cooked shrimp that I tossed into the marinade separately from the steak…This was amazing.. Even better heated up on sheet pan in hot oven the next day.. Sharing this with everyone! I saw where you told someone to not marinate for longer than 14 hours; but before reading this, I mixed my marinade last night at p.
By the way, I like spicy, so I used 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes and increased the paprika to 2 tsp. I also had sliced the flank steak into strips before marinating. Thank you for a wonderful recipe! Love this recipe, one of the things my picky husand will eat! I cut up the steak before hand and use mushrooms instead of onions being the hubby hates onions.
I marinate the veggies in with the steak for at least 6 hours. We like it spicy also so we use more chilli pepper and red pepper flakes! Yes, chipotle powder would be a good substitute but keep in mind that it may make the fajitas a little spicier!
Definately the BEST fajitas ever! My husband and I love them! I do a small twist though, I add pinapple chunks and also shrimp. The other twist is that I prefer to broil my food, so I put it all even the peppers and onions on a sheet pan in the broiler for about 8 min.
Flipping the meat half way through … and like I said, this recipie is so delish! Thank you for taking time to post this recipe. I appreciate you and your effort. I tried this recipe tonight. I will not make this again because I keep only the best tasting recipes and this one is just average.
Not worth the time and the effort. Some of the store bought fajita rubs are better in my opinion. These truly were the best Fajitas I have ever had. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe. Awesome recipe! My family loved it and we will use it again. The only problem was the steak was tough. Not sure how to make it tender! Has anyone used this in the crock pot? Thanks for your help. Made this tonight and it was good, should have marinated it longer.
It was my first time making a fajita. I used tenderloin steak. It was sooooooo good! Husband really enjoyed it! Would definitely make again! Thank you for the recipe! Is there a reason it calls for no sugar added pineapple juice?
I cannot find that. Will it be too sweet if I use regular? This has been my favorite fajita marinade for awhile! I recently started Whole30 and had every aspiration to make some homemade worcestershire so we could have these fajitas. Got lazy and decided to use coconut aminos instead. Just thought I would share for other Whole30ers out there. These truly are the BEST fajitas!! Love them! Great recipe! Will be adding this to my favorites! Thank you for sharing. I thought the ingredient list looked flavorful so off i went and bought a flank steak which I have never cooked before and made this tonite.
My 2 sons devoured 2 pounds of meat in less than 10 minutes. This was awesome. This is a keeper. You can bet they will be in the regular rotation at our house. Quick question.
The recipe you posted calls for marinating the meat longer than two hours. What am I missing? Trust the recipe. Easy and fun for the whole family. Loved it so much, we will have it again for supper really soon. So easy and so delish! I made these beef fajitas for dinner tonight, and the flavor was incredible. Wow, these were so authentic tasting. Due to limited resources of our current crisis, I subbed crushed pineapple for the amount of juice and it was still so delicious.
I cooked my veggies in the cast iron skillet on top of the grill and the steak right next to the pan. I even grilled the corn tortillas. Thanks, I will definitely post up next time. I cut the steak before cooking it! Can I still pan sear it? Hi — It is May 20 — — it appears that the written recipe is missing — it looks like there was a link [recipe] on top of the nutritional information but there is no recipe… could you fix this? Sorry about that, Rachel!
Made this last night but i used a diced habanero instead of a poblano. My fiance and brother were in food heaven. I also loved it. Fantastic recipe thank you. Thank you for taking the time to come back and comment, Shannon! This marinade is a game changer! It is worth the time it took to marinade, steak was tender and delicious. This is a Keeper! So happy to hear you enjoyed them, Jo! Pineapple Juice makes all the difference. Thank you for sharing it. So happy to hear that, Krystal!
I concur, that pineapple juice really makes it! Easy hack was to substitute 2 Tblspoons of Taco seasoning for the the dry seasonings chili, cumin paprika etc… and then add salt pepper along with all other ingredients!! Easy peasy! I made cilantro lime rice and guacamole to complete the meal. I also used NY stip steaks and sliced them then before marinating.
I want to know if I can marinate the meat and portion in zip lock bags? I plan on cutting the meat before cooking. Will I have to cook it before I freeze it or could I freeze it raw? Have sodium issues, but LOVE fajitas. This looks low in sodium, but just in case, how would I modify this to keep the flavor but lose the salty if it is?
