Instructions
- Prepare the marinade by combining garlic, orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, cilantro, and fajita seasoning in a large bowl or resealable bag.
- Season the marinade with salt and pepper, whisk well, and reserve 1/4 cup for serving.
- Add the steak to the marinade, seal the bag, and massage the marinade into the beef. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Take the marinated steak out of the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
- Heat your grill or a large skillet over high heat and oil the grates if necessary.
- Pat the steak dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Sear the steak on the hot grill or skillet for about 3-5 minutes total, flipping halfway through until cooked to your liking.
- Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for at least 3 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced peppers and onions with oil and fajita seasoning. Toss to coat.
- Cook the veggies on medium-high heat for 4-6 minutes or until slightly charred.
- Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain.
- Serve the steak and veggies in warm tortillas with garnishes and reserved sauce.
Notes
For best flavor, marinate the steak for at least 12 hours.
Feel free to customize toppings according to your preference.
Ensure the skillet or grill is hot for achieving a nice sear on the steak.
