Provided by Barb G.

Categories     Onions

Time 40m

Yield 8 Fajatas

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 medium green pepper, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 teaspoon oregano
8 -10 ounces filet of beef, trimed of all fat
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
8 corn tortillas, heated
guacamole or avocado, slices
sour cream
salsa
olive oil flavored cooking spray, as needed

Steps:

  • Spray a large, non-stick skillet with olive oil spray and add 2 teaspoons olive oil; Add the onions and green peppers and cook over medium heat until onion is translucent.
  • Add the garlic and oregano and cook for 1 minute more; (this can be done a day ahead and reheated) Or kept warm while steaks are grilling.
  • Grill the meat to rare to medium rare as you like; then remove from heat and cut into strips on a cutting board.
  • Add the hot cooked steak and cilantro to the warm peppers and onion and mix together in skillet, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes, just to blend flavors.
  • Serve with warm corn tortillas, sour cream, salsa and avocados as garnishes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak, skirt steak, and hanger steak are all good choices for fajitas. They are relatively thin and cook quickly, making them ideal for stir-frying.
  • Slice the beef against the grain: This will help to tenderize the meat and make it easier to chew.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help to add flavor and moisture to the meat.
  • Cook the beef over high heat: This will help to sear the meat and lock in the juices.
  • Don't overcook the beef: Fajitas are best when the beef is cooked to a medium-rare or medium doneness. Overcooked beef will be tough and chewy.
  • Serve the fajitas immediately: Fajitas are best served hot, so make sure to have all of your toppings and sides ready before you start cooking the beef.

Conclusion:

Beef fajitas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a sizzling plate of fajitas on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give beef fajitas a try.
