Ingredients

• 1 pound Rib-eye steak
• 1 whole Red bell pepper
• 1 whole Green bell pepper
• 1 whole Yellow onion
• 8 pieces Flour tortillas
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 whole Lime
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the steak marinade. In a small bowl, mix together the juice of one lime, two minced garlic cloves, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a uniform marinade.

Step 2

Place the rib-eye steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well-coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Step 3

While the steak marinates, prepare the vegetables. Slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips, discarding the seeds and stems. Cut the yellow onion into thin slices as well.

Step 4

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add one tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced peppers and onions. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Remove the steak from the marinade and gently pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess marinade. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil into the same skillet and heat over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Place the steak in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 7

Thinly slice the steak against the grain into strips. Return the vegetables to the skillet to warm them slightly.

Step 8

Briefly warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan or microwave them for about 20 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 9

To assemble the fajitas, place a portion of sliced steak and vegetables onto each tortilla. Serve the steak fajitas immediately and enjoy with your choice of toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
