Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper.

- Top the flank steak with the jalapeno, garlic, bell peppers, and onion. There's no need to add any water or other liquid.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of steak: Flank steak, skirt steak, or hanger steak are all good options for fajitas. These cuts are relatively thin and have a good amount of marbling, which makes them tender and flavorful when cooked properly.
- Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, cumin, and chili powder, or you can get more creative with your ingredients.
- Cook the steak over high heat: Fajitas are traditionally cooked over a high heat, which helps to sear the steak and give it a slightly charred flavor. You can cook the steak in a skillet or on a grill.
- Slice the steak against the grain: When slicing the steak, be sure to cut against the grain. This will help to make the steak more tender and easier to chew.
- Serve the fajitas with your favorite toppings: Fajitas are typically served with a variety of toppings, such as grilled onions, peppers, and salsa. You can also add cheese, sour cream, or guacamole.
Conclusion:
Slow-cooked steak fajitas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion.
