STEAK (OR CHICKEN) FAJITAS



Steak (Or Chicken) Fajitas image

These are so quick and tasty. You can use strips of boneless chicken breast instead of the beef. Feel free to double the marinade. The flavor is so great for such a short marination time. You can can do them up ahead of time and have the meat sit longer if you wish.

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.

LEFTOVER-STEAK STEAK FAJITAS



Leftover-Steak Steak Fajitas image

not quite sure what to do with that not-so-tender leftover steak? Funny thing, I electric-grilled 4 for Sunday dinner & 2 of 'em turned out cut-butter-with-a-hot-knife tender..the other 2, not so much..thicker cuts..I shoulda known better & adjusted my cooking time! Still, I came up with this really tasty follow-up; hope y'all...

Provided by Cheryl Ross

Categories     Steaks and Chops

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

leftover grilled steak, sliced thin
1-2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 small onion, sliced
1 small green bell pepper, sliced
1 small red bell pepper, sliced
1/2 Tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 c water or beef broth
dash(es) sriracha or other hot sauce
flour tortillas

Steps:

  • 1. I used some pre-fajita-cut veggies, but if you're using the ones as listed here, put them all in a small- to medium-size bowl.
  • 2. I took the leftover grilled steak, moistened it with a little water, covered with a paper towel on a glass plate & microwaved it about 90 seconds.
  • 3. After removing from the microwave, let it cool and slice it at a diagonal angle real thin., toss it into a hot skillet with about 1-2 T olive oil & sautée for maybe a minute.
  • 4. Add the sliced veggies to the skillet & sautée for another minute.
  • 5. Sprinkle the meat & veggies mixture with some black pepper, crushed red pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, and a splash of that tomato-free hot chili sauce I can't live without (but also can't spell worth a darn)..Sriracha, I think.
  • 6. Stir it all together, then add about 1/4 cup of water (or beef broth), cover, & let it simmer real low & slow until the steak is tender.
  • 7. Warm flour tortillas in microwave. Spoon the fajita mixture down the center of the tortilla. Add whatever other toppings you like -- salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese, guacamole, etc -- fold, and Muy delicioso! (I'm eating mine with a dollop of sour cream 'cuz I forgot the bowl that had my other toppings, but you can also throw it on top of some shredded lettuce for a great salad if you're cutting back on carbs...)

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 3h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 lbs flank steaks or 1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts
5 teaspoons mccormicks fajita seasoning mix (in the packet)
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup vinegar (red wine vinegar for beef fajitas or white wine vinegar for chicken fajitas)
1 seeded chopped habanero pepper
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon of mccormicks spicy McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning, for beef fajitas (found in the seasoning section at the grocery store) or 1 teaspoon Montreal roasted garlic chicken seasoning, for chicken fajitas (found in the seasoning section at the grocery store)
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1 large yellow sweet onion
1/4 cup olive oil
cheese (optional)
sour cream (optional)
guacamole (optional)
salsa (optional)
tomatoes (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix all marinade ingredients and pour over the meat (you can put it all in a large zip-lock).
  • Marinate atleast two hours or overnight.
  • Grill meat until cooked through.
  • Slice meat into strips.
  • Heat the 1/4 cup of olive oil in a saute pan on the stove and begin sauteeing the onions over medium heat.
  • Cook until soft.
  • Add the peppers and continue to cook until peppers are soft and onions are beginning to brown and crisp.
  • Serve on Flour Tortillas, add meat then peppers& onions& any of the optional toppings.

Tips:

  • Choose the right steak: Look for a steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling. Ribeye, flank, and skirt steak are all good choices for fajitas.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and cumin, or you can try one of the more complex marinades from the recipes in the article.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy. You can cook the steak in a skillet, on a grill, or even in a wok.
  • Slice the steak against the grain: This will make the steak more tender and easier to chew.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite toppings: Fajitas are traditionally served with tortillas, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. However, you can also get creative and try different toppings, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or beans.

Conclusion:

Steak fajitas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious fajita dinner on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give steak fajitas a try!
