Steps:
- Coat both sides of the flank steak with 1 tablespoon each salt and pepper, pressing into the steak. Place in a large freezer bag. Cut both limes in half and squeeze juice into the bag; add chili powder. Make sure all is mixed well and remove the air from the bag. Place in a refrigerator and marinate for about 3 hours.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Season bell pepper and red onion with salt and pepper. Place in a grill pan and set aside.
- Put black beans in a small pot on the stove over medium heat to heat through.
- Cook steak on the preheated grill until browned on one side, 5 to 7 minutes. Spray vegetables with cooking spray and place them on the grill. Cook until vegetables begin to caramelize, turning often so they don't burn, and steak is beginning to firm and is hot and slightly pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium doneness. Remove steak and vegetables from the grill.
- Slice steak into thin strips. Place beans, steak, vegetables, and Mexican cheese onto the tortillas and serve.

Steps:
- Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet on one side of a gas grill, preheat the grill to high and lightly oil the grates. Alternatively, lightly oil a large grill pan and preheat over high heat and preheat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat.
- Mix the oil, 2 tablespoons chili-lime seasoning, garlic, the juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon salt and a generous amount of pepper in a large bowl. Place the steaks on a plate and spoon 3 tablespoons of the mixture on top, flipping so that both sides are nicely coated, spooning any marinade on the plate back onto the meat. Refrigerate covered for 15 minutes and up to 2 hours if time allows.
- Put the peppers and onions in the large bowl with the remaining marinade and toss to coat evenly.
- Place the steaks on the open side of the grill or on the grill pan and put the vegetables and any oil left in the bowl in the cast-iron skillet.
- Cook the steaks, flipping once halfway through, until cooked through, about 8 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 2 minutes. Cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until softened and charred in some spots, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the butter and remaining 1/4 teaspoon chili-lime seasoning in a small bowl. Wrap the tortillas loosely in foil and grill until warm, about 1 minute per side.
- Thinly slice the steaks and add to the skillet with the vegetables. Top with the butter and quickly stir until melted and incorporated, about 1 minute.
- Cut the remaining lime into wedges. Serve the steak and vegetables with the tortillas, salsa and lime wedges.

Steps:
- 1. Mix seasonings together and apply liberally to both sides of the steak. Alowl to sit and come to room temperature to avoid the meat shrinking and becoming tough on grill. I usually eyeball my seasonings, but I am estimating the amount I use in the measurements above.
- 2. Cut and seed green bell pepper, rub with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cut ends off of onion and peel skin, coat with oil salt and pepper and wrap completely with aluminum foil.
- 3. As soon as fire dies down on charcoal grill place your onion on the coals. This will need the most time to cook so as soon as I can I place it in the heat.
- 4. Once coals are ready place flank steaks on grill. This meat is lean so there are not normally many flare ups from the fire. Allow meat to cook approx 10 minutes on each side, flipping only once. You want the meat to have a medium center so that it will retain moisture and juiciness. Once you have flipped the meat add your peppers to the grill and char each side. Remove meat from grill and let rest for about 10-15 minutes tented with foil so that juices can recirculate.
- 5. Cut steaks in thin strips with a SHARP knife on the bias Cut peppers and onions into strips.
- 6. Serve on tortillas and top with cheese, lettuce, sour cream, diced tomatoes, and salsa.
Tips:
- When choosing steak for fajitas, look for flank steak, skirt steak, or hanger steak. These cuts are all relatively thin and have a good amount of marbling, which makes them tender and flavorful when grilled.
- To make sure your fajitas are cooked evenly, slice the steak against the grain. This will help to tenderize the meat and make it easier to chew.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook fajitas in a large skillet over high heat. Just be sure to sear the steak for a few minutes per side until it is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
- Fajitas are traditionally served with tortillas, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. However, you can also get creative with your toppings. Try adding roasted vegetables, grilled pineapple, or even kimchi to your fajitas.
Conclusion:
Grilled steak fajitas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are having a party or just a weeknight dinner, fajitas are sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and flavorful meal, give grilled steak fajitas a try.
