Steak Fajitas Corona Recipes

STEAK FAJITAS

Steps:

• Combine 2 teaspoons ground cumin, the chile powder and 1 teaspoon salt. With a sharp knife, cut shallow crosshatched incisions across top and bottom surfaces of steak. Rub spice mix all over surface of steak. (It's best to wear gloves as the chile powder is hot.) Place steak in a resealable freezer bag.
• In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice and zest, 1/4 cup olive oil, the Worcestershire sauce and half the garlic. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade and pour the rest into the bag with steak. Seal and move steak around in bag to coat thoroughly. Place on a sheet pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. Massage bag periodically to redistribute marinade. Refrigerate reserved marinade if cooking the next day.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until they soften and begin to color, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in bell peppers and chile. Cook, stirring, until peppers begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
• Lower heat to medium, add remaining garlic and cumin, and salt to taste. Cook, stirring often, until peppers are nicely seared, softened and beginning to caramelize, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Pour in reserved 2 tablespoons marinade and scrape bottom of pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze. Stir in half the cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove from heat but keep warm.
• Wrap tortillas in foil and warm in a low oven, or wrap in a towel and warm in a steamer or in the microwave.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, or prepare a medium-hot grill. Remove meat from marinade and discard marinade. Pat meat dry with paper towels. If using a skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in skillet. (If your skillet is not large enough for the steak, cut it in half and cook in batches.) Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Meat should be medium rare. Remove to a cutting board, cover with foil and let sit for 10 minutes. Cut across the grain into 1/2- to 3/4-inch wide strips.
• Arrange lettuce on a platter, then place steak next to lettuce. Tip juices from cutting board over meat and sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Serve vegetables on the same platter or separately, along with warm tortillas, salsa and crumbled queso fresco.

BEEF FAJITAS

Steps:

• In a dish, mix together the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and sugar until combined. Pour half of the marinade into a separate dish. In one dish, place the flank steak, turning it over to coat. In the second dish, place all the veggies, turning to coat. Cover the dishes with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
• Prepare the tortillas and toppings.
• Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in some oil. Add the veggies and cook them for a few minutes, until they're cooked but still slightly firm and have nice black/brown pieces. Remove to a plate and set aside.
• Heat the same same skillet (or a grill pan if you have it) over high heat and drizzle in some oil. Cook the meat for about 2 minutes per side until medium rare. Remove and allow to rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Slice the meat right before serving and serve with all the fixins. Delicious!

GRILLED STEAK FAIJTAS

Steps:

• Add flank steak to a large plastic ziplock bag. Add lime juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne to the bag as well. Zip up. Massage marinade into meat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 8.
• Preheat the grill to a high heat - about 450 degrees. Place a grill pan or sheet on one side of the grill. Once the steak has marinated, remove and sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt on both sides. Add the peppers and onions to a medium bowl. Toss with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and a little bit of pepper.
• Add the pepper to the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes and then add steak on the uncovered side of the grill. Use tongs to toss the peppers. Close the grill. Let the steak cook for about 4 minutes. Use tongs to flip the steak over. Toss the peppers again. If they are charred enough, remove from the grill.
• Cook the steak another 3-4 minutes or until it reaches your desired doneness. (For skirt steak you really want medium-rare to medium which is an internal temperature of 140-145 degrees. It will increase 5 degrees as it rests. Remove the steak and peppers from the grill. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes.
• Use a sharp knife to cut the steak against the grain into thin slices. Serve in warm tortillas with your favorite toppings.

SHEET PAN STEAK FAJITAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees F and line 2 rimmed baking sheets (half sheets) with silicone baking mats or unbleached parchment paper.
• Cut steak against the grain into thin slices. Look at your flank steak, see how the lines are running? Cut across them, not parallel. With sirloin steak it is easy because of its elongated shape - cut across, not lengthwise.
• Also cut onions and bell pepper into thin strips.
• Transfer meat and vegetables into 2 separate piles on one sheet pan.
• Meat: squeeze lime juice, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with taco seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• Vegetables: drizzle with olive oil and season with taco seasoning, salt and pepper.
• Toss each pile to season separately. Then mix meat and veggies together and transfer half of steak fajitas on second sheet. Spread in a single layer.
• Bake for 20 minutes. To check for doneness, just taste a piece of steak.
• Broil until browned, about 5 minutes under 550 F (high) broiler.
• Season meat only just with a pinch of pink, coarse or regular salt. I underseason fajitas during cooking on purpose because a small sprinkle of salt at the end is everything. Good finishing salt is pink salt or coarse sea salt. Delicious!
• We serve steak fajitas in whole wheat tortillas with sliced avocado, torn pieces of cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice. You can use corn tortillas or white flour tortillas (less nutritious). You can top fajitas with jarred salsa, sour cream, guacamole or pico de gallo. And refried beans on a side.
