The other night I made beef fajitas. I had defrosted steak tips. I've never had anything called "steak tips" before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Given the shape of the meat pieces, simple cooking it like a steak was out. I went the strip route and decided on fajitas.
Beef Fajitas- 1/2 lb steak tips cut into strips,
- Marinade made of olive oil, lime juice, cumin, chipotle, garlic, and cilantro,
- 1 onion sliced (in the direction for wedges not rounds)
- 1/3 bag colored peppers from Trader Joe's (or two bell peppers sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped & splash of lime juice
- Tortillas
Marinade the meat for a few hours. Then in a hot pan with a bit of oil, quickly cook the meat until done, about 3 min. Removed the meat and cook the onions and peppers with the garlic and splash of lime. Cook for about 3 min.
Place the meat and veggies on a tortilla. Top with your favorite toppings.
Toppings- Grated cheddar cheese
- chopped lettuce
- chopped tomato
- sliced black olives
- minced cilantro
- sour cream
- guacamole
- salsa
We made 6 fajitas that were way too full. This likely should have made 8 or so. They were a favorite of the husband. I'll definitely make them again.
