It’s summer so we should be cooking just about everything on the grill right? Really though, I’ve been grilling almost every day for the last few weeks whether it be for lunch or dinner and we’ve been having some incredibly delicious meals around here. Grilling just makes food that much better. Like these flank steak fajitas – when you soak the beef in a flavorful marinade for hours then sear it on a hot grill to the perfect doneness, and serve it along with a generous amount of grilled bell peppers you get some unbelievably delicious, irresistibly tempting steak fajitas!
Grilled Steak Fajitas
With this steak fajita recipe be sure you marinate the steak for the time allotted or your beef won’t be as flavorful. Whisk your fajita seasoning into your tablespoons of olive oil first, to ensure proper coating. This marinade is also delicious with chicken fajitas! Also since these are lean cuts of meat, the flank or skirt steak, be sure to slice it thin and against the grain for optimal tenderness. If you’d like to char your tortillas like those pictured, using tongs, hold the edges of the tortilla over the flame of a gas burner and rotate as each edge begins to brown, then keep warm in a pan. If you don’t have access to a grill or open flame, a large cast iron skillet that is heated to medium-high heat should work, too.
What to Serve with Beef Fajitas
Mexican food is one of my favorite categories because it’s so easy to adjust your ingredients and presentations. The best steak fajitas can be served as a build-your-own like a restaurant fajita dish, loaded into tortillas taco-style, rolled up with beans and cheese in a burrito or chimichanga, or tossed on top of chips and loaded up for nachos. I definitely recommend serving with the traditional green bell pepper, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion sliced in thin strips. From there, get creative!
