Fresh, marinated beef and tender-crisp seasoned veggies make this steak fajitas recipe a crowd-pleasing favorite.

- Flavor: Juicy steak and tender veggies are infused with zesty Tex-Mex flavors.
- Recommended tools: Grill toppers make cooking veggies on the BBQ easy.
- Time-Saving Tip: Buy a bag of frozen peppers and onions to cut down on prep time.
- Serving suggestions: Make a fajita bar with toppings, sauces, and a side of sangria.

Ingredient Tips For Steak Fajitas
- Beef: You can use any steak for fajitas. I like flank or skirt steak for marinating. If using more tender cuts of meat, reduce the marinating time.
- Marinade: Lime juice tenderizes the meat while the spices and seasonings add flavor.
- Vegetables: Colorful strips of bell peppers are must-haves for the best fajitas! Sliced mushrooms, zucchini, corn, and even pre-cooked diced potatoes add extra flavor and texture to steak fajitas.
- Tortillas: Choose any size of flour tortillas for hand-held fajitas. Wrap tortillas in foil and keep them warm on a corner of the grill until ready to fill.
Variations: Short on time? Season leftover beef, chicken, pork, or shrimp in fajita seasonings, wrap in foil, and warm on the grill until ready to use.
How to Make Steak Fajitas
- Whisk the marinade ingredients together. Marinate steak (full recipe below).
- Grill steak to the desired doneness, remove from heat, and let rest.
- Saute onions and peppers in oil and seasonings until tender-crisp.
- Slice the steak and add to the tortillas with veggies.
- Top with desired toppings and serve.

- Sauces and salsas: homemade salsa, guacamole, sour cream, salsa verde
- Cheese: shredded cheddar, cotija crumbles, Monterey Jack
- Fresh veggies: avocado, shredded lettuce, tomatoes
- Flavor-packed extras: jalapenos, fresh cilantro, green chiles, and sliced black olives
Storing Steak Fajitas
Marinate the steak up to a day ahead, grill, slice, and keep in the refrigerator until ready to reheat. Leftover fajitas with the veggies can be kept in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat portions in the microwave or add to a bed of greens or a wrap for a healthy and hearty workday lunch.
