Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Flank Steak: A lean cut that’s perfect for marinating; choose one with good marbling for extra flavor.
  • Bell Peppers: Use a mix of colors to brighten up your bowl and add natural sweetness. Mint Brownies for a sweet finish.
  • Onion: Sweet onions work best; their caramelized flavor enhances the fajita experience.
  • Garlic: Fresh garlic cloves will elevate your dish with aromatic goodness.
  • Cumin: This spice adds warmth and earthy notes; don’t skimp on it!
  • Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice brightens everything up; it’s like sunshine in a bowl.
  • Olive Oil: A splash helps in marinating and gives a nice sear to the steak.
  • Salt & Pepper: Essential seasonings that enhance all flavors beautifully.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Marinate Your Steak: Start by mixing olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add your flank steak and let it soak up all those fantastic flavors for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare Your Veggies: While your steak marinates, slice up those colorful bell peppers and onions into strips. The more vibrant they are, the better they’ll look on your plate.

Cook Your Steak: Heat up a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear your steak for about 5-7 minutes per side until it reaches your desired doneness—medium-rare is ideal for tenderness.

Sauté The Vegetables: In the same pan (flavor alert!), toss in your sliced onions and peppers. Cook until they’re tender but still have a bit of crunch—about 5-6 minutes should do it.

Slice & Serve!: Once cooked, let your steak rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain. Layer slices of steak over your sautéed veggies in bowls.

Add Toppings & Enjoy!: Top with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or even some cheese if you’re feeling indulgent. Dive into this flavorful fiesta!
