SEARED-STEAK FAJITAS



Seared-Steak Fajitas image

For a fast, low-calorie dinner, try this Tex-Mex classic. It uses top round steak, which is a very lean cut of beef, plus it packs plenty of fresh flavor. Other lean cuts of beef, like eye of round or top sirloin, will also work in this recipe.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 pound top round steak
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (from 3 limes), plus wedges for serving
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 medium green bell peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
1 large white onion, halved and thinly sliced
8 corn tortillas, warmed
1/2 cup grated white cheddar (2 ounces)
1 large tomato, chopped
Cilantro sprigs, for serving

Steps:

  • In a shallow dish or bowl, combine steak, soy sauce, and 1/4 cup lime juice. Refrigerate 1 hour, turning steak occasionally. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon lime juice. Set garlic oil aside.
  • Remove steak from marinade and blot dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. In a cast-iron or heavy skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Cook steak until medium-rare, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and loosely tent with foil.
  • Add peppers and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in reserved garlic oil. Thinly slice steak and serve with vegetables, tortillas, cheese, tomato, and cilantro.

HOT AND SPICY FAJITAS

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 37

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 white onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
6 button mushrooms, sliced
6 green onions, sliced
1 carrot, cut into julienne strips
Salt
Black pepper
Soy sauce
1/2 pound chicken breast strips
1/2 pound skirt steak
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1/2 pound Cajun sausage
Assorted chiles (recommended: habanero, pasilla, Anaheim, jalapeno), roasted
1 lime, juiced
Guacamole, recipe follows
Salsa, recipe follows
4 avocados, mashed
1 tomato, diced
1 white onion, diced
2 teaspoons finely chopped cilantro leaves
1 lime, juiced
2 teaspoons finely grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon hot sauce
Salt
Pepper
4 tomatoes
2 white onions
2 chiles (recommended: habanero, pasilla, Anaheim, yellow, or jalapeno), roasted
Olive oil
Black pepper
Chili powder
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Cumin
Garlic salt

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add vegetables, season with salt, pepper, and soy sauce, to taste, and saute until tender yet still crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove vegetables from skillet and reserve.
  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken, steak, shrimp, and sausage; it is best to select a different area of the grill for each, as they all have very different cooking times. As each is cooked through, remove from the grill, cut into strips, and reserve.
  • Heat the same large skillet until very hot and return the vegetables to the pan. Layer the assorted roasted chiles on top and then lay the meat on top of the chiles. Add the lime juice for that famous fajita sizzle and serve immediately with the Guacamole and Salsa.
  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir mix well. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Preheat a grill to high.
  • Coat the tomatoes, onions, and chiles in olive oil, black pepper, and chili powder, to taste. Blacken vegetables on the grill. Remove from the heat and then dice when cool enough to handle. Mix together in a bowl with the lime juice and cilantro. Season, to taste, with cumin, garlic salt, and additional pepper and chili powder.

  • Slice the chicken breast into strips about a half inch thick and no longer than 3 inches in length. Set them into a mixing bowl. Toss the chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil and the fajita seasonings. Be sure to get them nice and coated. Set them in the refrigerator for now.
  • Heat a cast iron pan to medium heat and add the remaining olive oil. Add the peppers and onion slices and cook them down, stirring often, about 20 minutes or so, until the mixture has softened and just begun to caramelize. Set them aside for now.
  • Heat the same pan back to medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips and cook them for 1 minute per side. You just want to give them a nice sear.
