GRILLED BEEF FAJITAS
This recipe comes from, "The Black Dog" restaurant on Martha's Vineyard. It's my favorite beef fajita recipe, by far! Grilling the beef really makes a difference in flavor and the blend of spices are perfect. However, if you don't want to grill, the beef can be done using a cast iron pan on the stovetop. The beef will have a more intense flavor if you let it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours after applying the dry rub. You can also make the salsa, slice the onions and peppers ahead of time. Whether you're entertaining or just have a hankering for a really good beef fajita, this recipe rocks.

Tips for Making Perfect Fajitas on a Pellet Grill
- Choose the right cut of meat. Fajitas are traditionally made with flank steak or skirt steak, but you can also use other cuts of beef, such as hanger steak or bavette steak. The secret to tender fajitas is to choose a cut of meat that is well-marinated and cooked quickly over high heat.
- Marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes. A good marinade will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. There are many different fajita marinade recipes available, so you can choose one that suits your taste. Tip: You can also use a store-bought fajita marinade if you are short on time.
- Cook the meat over high heat. Fajitas are best cooked over high heat so that they can sear quickly and develop a nice crust. If you are using a pellet grill, set the temperature to high and preheat the grill for at least 10 minutes before cooking the meat.
- Cook the meat in batches. Do not overcrowd the grill with meat, or it will not cook evenly. Cook the meat in batches, and be sure to give each batch plenty of space on the grill.
- Cook the meat to your desired doneness. Fajitas are typically cooked to medium-rare or medium, but you can cook them to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat to ensure it is cooked to your liking.
Conclusion
Fajitas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are cooking for a crowd or just for yourself, fajitas are sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give fajitas a try. You won't be disappointed!
