Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Lime juice
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 pieces Bell peppers (assorted colors), sliced
• 1 piece Large onion, sliced
• 8 pieces Tortillas
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional)
• 0.5 cup Salsa or pico de gallo (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large zip-top bag or shallow dish, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, sugar, black pepper, and salt.

Step 2

Add the flank steak to the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight for best flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess liquid drip off. Discard the marinade.

Step 5

Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium). Then, transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

Step 6

While the steak rests, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced bell peppers and onion, cooking until softened and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 7

Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain into strips.

Step 8

Warm tortillas by heating them in a dry skillet or microwave wrapped in a clean towel.

Step 9

Assemble the fajitas by adding steak, sautéed veggies, and any optional toppings like cilantro, sour cream, or salsa onto the tortillas.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
