Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 3 Bell peppers (assorted colors), sliced
• 1 Yellow onion, sliced
• 8 Tortillas (flour or corn)
• 1 cup Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Place the flank steak on a cutting board and tenderize it lightly with a meat mallet or fork. Cut the steak into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the steak strips to the marinade, tossing to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 4

While the steak is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips and set aside.

Step 5

Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan.

Step 6

Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess liquid drip off, and place it in the hot pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside, covering with foil to keep warm.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are slightly softened and charred.

Step 8

Return the steak strips to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss to combine and heat through for 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet, over an open flame, or in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel until soft and pliable.

Step 10

Serve the steak and vegetable mixture onto the warm tortillas. Add your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, shredded cheese, and cilantro, as desired. Enjoy your Fabulous Steak Fajitas!
