Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 Red bell pepper (sliced into strips)
• 1 Green bell pepper (sliced into strips)
• 1 Yellow onion (sliced into strips)
• 8 Tortillas (flour or corn)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheese (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, ground cumin, chili powder, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well to combine.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Once marinated, remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking.

Step 4

Preheat a large skillet, grill pan, or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off, and cook on the hot pan or grill for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your preferred doneness.

Step 5

While the steak is cooking, heat a separate large skillet over medium heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil. Cook the sliced bell peppers and onion for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 6

Once the steak is cooked to your desired doneness, transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

Step 7

Warm the tortillas on a dry skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable.

Step 8

Assemble the fajitas by placing some steak strips and sautéed veggies onto each tortilla. Add optional toppings such as fresh cilantro, sour cream, or shredded cheese, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
