Spicy Steak Fajitas

Here’s a recipe for Spicy Steak Fajitas:

Ingredients:

For the Marinade:

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup lime juice (about 2-3 limes)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Fajitas:

• 1.5 lbs flank steak or skirt steak
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Flour or corn tortillas
• Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, lime wedges

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Steak:
   1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
   2. Place the steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it’s well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best results.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
   1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
   2. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Steak:
   1. Remove the steak from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the marinade.
   2. Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add a bit more oil if needed.
   3. Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
   4. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
4. Assemble the Fajitas:
   1. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
   2. Place some of the cooked vegetables on each tortilla, followed by slices of steak.
   3. Add any optional toppings you prefer.
   4. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Enjoy your spicy steak fajitas!
