Ingredients

• 1 lb Flank steak
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Lime juice
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 3 medium Bell peppers (red, green, yellow), sliced
• 1 large Onion, sliced
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 8 Tortillas
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional)
• 0.5 cup Guacamole (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and honey to form the marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the steak. Seal the bag, ensuring the steak is fully coated, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Cook the steak on the grill for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into thin strips against the grain.

Step 6

While the steak is resting, heat a grill pan or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, then cook the sliced bell peppers and onion until they are slightly charred and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side.

Step 8

Assemble the fajitas by filling each tortilla with slices of steak, cooked peppers and onions, and your desired toppings such as chopped cilantro, sour cream, or guacamole.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your marinated grilled beef fajitas!
