How to make Sizzling Beef Fajitas with Peppers and Onions
- Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick.
- In a bowl, combine 1 tbsp olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the beef strips and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes at room temperature.
- While the beef marinates, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.
- Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the marinated beef to the hot skillet in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding). Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the same skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and slightly charred.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss to combine and heat through for 1-2 minutes.
- Warm the tortillas according to package directions. Serve the sizzling beef fajitas immediately with warm tortillas, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.
