Fajitas! Using Arrow J Beef Flank & Skirt Steak
These are THE BEST fajitas ever!!!!!
The recipe calls for 1 lb of beef. I think each one of my kids could eat a pound alone. So I doubled the recipe.
OH SO good! With Sautéed Bell Peppers and Onions. Then topped with avocado, tomato, and cilantro. It’s a new favorite.
Leftover beef will be GREAT for topping salads on these hot summer days.
Enough already! Give me the recipe!!

Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika see notes
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions
- Combine 2 teaspoons olive oil, chili powder, chipotle powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper in a bowl, mixing until a paste forms. Rub the skirt steak on both sides with the spice paste.
- Preheat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned steak and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil while the steak rests.
- Meanwhile, scrape up any browned bits from the cast iron and add the remaining olive oil. Add the bell peppers and onion to the skillet, stirring regularly for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are seared and softened. Stir in the chopped cilantro.
- Turn off the heat. Slice the skirt steak thinly across the grain and place on a large serving plate. Top with the cooked vegetables, avocado slices, and chopped tomato. Garnish with lime wedges, if desired. Serve with gluten free or paleo tortillas, if desired.
Notes
If you don't have smoked paprika on hand, feel free to substitute with regular paprika.
