Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the grill or grill pan
2 tablespoons plus 1/4 teaspoon chili-lime seasoning, such as Good & Gather™ Chili Lime Seasoning Blend
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 limes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 8-ounce New York strip steaks, about 1 inch thick, such as Good & Gather™ USDA Choice New York Strip Steak
3 bell peppers (about 1 1/2 pounds), stemmed, seeded and sliced 1/2 inch thick, such as Good & Gather™ Tri-Colored Bell Peppers
1 medium onion (about 8 ounces), halved and sliced 1/2 inch thick
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
Eight 6-inch corn tortillas
Salsa, for serving

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right steak: Flank steak or skirt steak are typically used for fajitas, as they are thin and cook quickly. If you're using a different cut of steak, make sure to slice it thinly against the grain.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of spices, herbs, and liquids helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a store-bought marinade or make your own.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the steak and lock in its juices. Be sure to use a heavy skillet or griddle that can withstand high heat.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the steak will steam instead of sear. Cook the steak in batches if necessary.
  • Let the steak rest: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Skillet steak fajitas are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make sure that your fajitas are perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. So next time you're looking for a weeknight meal that's sure to please everyone, give skillet steak fajitas a try.
