Beef Fajitas
List of Ingredients
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 pounds skirt steak, trimmed and cut into large pieces to fit on a grill,
or broiler pan
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 assorted colored bell peppers, sliced thin
1 large red onion, halved and sliced thin
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 dozen flour tortillas, warmed
Guacamole (See recipe)
Pico de Gallo - fresh tomato salsa (See Recipe)
Recipe
1.In a large zip-lock style plastic bag, combine garlic, lime juice, cumin, oil and salt. Add steak
to the marinade, seal bag, removing as much air as possible, and turn to coat well. Marinate
for at least 1 hour at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator, turning occasionally.
2.Remove steak from marinade and drain well. Grill steak on a well-oiled rack set about 5
inches over glowing coals for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until it is just springy to the touch,
for medium-rare meat. (Or steak may be broiled on rack of a broiler pan under a preheated
broiler about 4 inches from heat for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare meat.)
Transfer steak to a cutting board and let it stand for 10 minutes.
3.While the steak is standing, in a large skillet heat oil over medium-high heat until hot, add bell
peppers, onion and garlic; sauté the mixture, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until bell peppers are
softened.
4.Slice steak thin across the grain on the diagonal and arrange slices on a platter with
vegetable mixture. Drizzle any steak juices over entire mixture.
5.Serve with warmed tortillas, guacamole and salsa.
Serves 6.
