Tasty Tuesday: Fajitas

Since moving into our new home, we have been entertaining at least once or twice a week! Our go-to meal? Fajitas! It's super easy, yummy and versatile. Check it out!

Grilled Skirt Steak Fajitas
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
4 scallions, washed and cut in half
2 large cloves garlic
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons dark-brown sugar or Mexican brown sugar
2 pounds inside skirt steak, cut into 3 equal pieces
2 red bell peppers, cut into strips
2 green bell peppers, cut into strips
1 large white onion, cut into strips
Olive oil
Salt
Sour cream
Fajita-size flour tortillas

Place all marinade ingredients in a blender and puree. Put pieces of skirt steak in a large ziplock bag and pour marinade into bag. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible and allow the steak to marinate for 1-hour in the refrigerator.

Heat 1 chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and start grilling the steak immediately. Grill on each side 3-5 minutes. Remove the steak from the grill and wrap in tin foil and allow to rest 10-15 minutes.

While the steak is resting, toss the peppers and onion with some olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place a cast iron skillet directly on the hot coals in the grill, and when heated, add in the peppers and onions. Continue to cook until they are soft and nicely browned.

Heat the tortillas on the grill or in the oven until soft. Assemble fajitas with the vegetables, steak, and a bit of sour cream.

*Also pretty darn yummy with chicken!
