Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 1 tbsp fajita seasoning
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp each salt & pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb skirt steak
  • 1 red onion sliced
  • 2 bell peppers any colour, sliced
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese grated

To serve

  • Cilantro
  • Lime wedges
  • Corn or flour tortillas
  • Guacamole
  • Salsa
  • Sour cream

Instructions

  • Mix half the olive oil, along with the fajita seasoning, lime juice, soy sauce, vinegar, salt & pepper and garlic together in a small bowl.
  • Pour marinade over steak in a resealable plastic bag or in a large bowl and let marinate for 15 minutes (or up to 24 hours in advance). Meanwhile, slice peppers and onions, grate cheese and chop cilantro if using.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak, retaining marinade inside the bag/bowl, and cook for 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting across the grain.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil in the same large skillet over high heat. Add the onions and bell peppers, sauteeing for 2-3 minutes until tender and slightly charred. Add in the remaining steak marinade, cooking another minute. Add your cut up steak, then remove from heat and sprinkle cheese overtop.
  • Meanwhile, heat tortillas in the oven or microwave for a couple of minutes so they're soft and pliable.
  • Serve fajitas over tortillas if desired, garnishing with cilantro, lime and any other accompaniments you'd like! Enjoy :)
