Tips:

  • Choose the right flank steak: Look for a flank steak that is at least 1 pound and has a uniform thickness. This will ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of spices and liquids will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a store-bought marinade or make your own.
  • Cook the steak on high heat: Flank steak is a thin cut of meat, so it cooks quickly. Be sure to cook it on high heat so that it develops a nice crust and remains juicy on the inside.
  • Slice the steak against the grain: When you slice the steak, be sure to do so against the grain. This will help to make the steak more tender.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite toppings: Flank steak fajitas are a great way to enjoy a delicious and healthy meal. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and cheese.
