Sizzling Steak Fajitas

A soccer night favourite, Sizzling Steak Fajitas can be prepared well ahead of time.

Prep and Cook

  • 3
    Remove beef from marinade and cook each side for approximately 4 minutes, or until beef is cooked medium rare.
  • 4
    While beef is cooking, add 1 Tbsp grapeseed oil to large non-stick skillet and quickly stir-fry red onion, red and yellow peppers.
  • 5
    Transfer steak to a cutting board and let it sit for a few minutes.
  • 6
    Wrap tortillas in tinfoil and warm them in a preheated oven or on the BBQ for 1-2 minutes.
  • 7
    Slice beef into thin strips.
  • 8
    Divide beef, onions and grilled peppers among the tortillas.
  • 9
    Serve fajitas with sides of chopped avocado, sour cream, salsa, cilantro and cheddar cheese.
