Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 Lime
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 Tortillas
• 1 variety Optional toppings (sour cream, guacamole, cheese, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the flank steak into thin, bite-sized strips against the grain and set aside.

Step 2

Core and slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips. Peel and slice the onion into similar-sized strips.

Step 3

In a large bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together olive oil, juice of 1 lime, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the sliced steak to the marinade and toss to fully coat. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes if cooking immediately, or continue to the freezing step.

Step 5

In a large gallon-sized resealable freezer bag, combine the marinated steak strips, bell peppers, and onion. Seal the bag, ensuring you remove as much air as possible, and label it with the date and recipe name. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Step 6

When ready to cook, defrost the bag in the refrigerator overnight or under running cold water for a faster option.

Step 7

Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the defrosted fajita mixture to the pan and stir-fry for 6-8 minutes until the steak is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 8

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet, microwave, or oven as desired.

Step 9

Serve the steak and vegetables in the warmed tortillas with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, or salsa.
