Perfect Steak Fajitas Grill Recipe

PREPARE Meat, Vegetables, and Marinade
Cutup meat sections to be about 1 pound or less each. With each meat section, cut some deep (halfway down), long slits (along with the grain). Add into a container like a bowl or food storage bag.
2 lbs Flank Steak
Discard inner contents and seeds of bell peppers. Cut into ½-inch wide strips. Add to meat container.
2 medium bell pepper
Peel and slice onions into ½-inch wide sections. Separate into rings. Add to meat container.
1½ large sweet onions
Make the marinade and pour over the meat and vegetables. Seal the bowl or bag well and place in refrigerator. Let it set for 45 minutes to overnight.
⅔ cup soy sauce, ⅔ cup lime juice, ⅔ cup oil, ¼ cup dark brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cumin, 2 teaspoons ground black pepper, 1 Tablespoon chili powder, 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
COOK Meat and Vegetables
Discard just the marinade.
Place the meat pieces on direct heat of the hot grill. Use caution as it will flame up due to the oil. Turn over every 1-2 minutes until medium rare at 130-135℉. You can opt to finish cooking via indirect heat (closed cover) after the 1-2 minutes on each side.
It usually takes about 10-15 minutes total on direct heat or 25-35 minutes indirect heat.
Set aside for about 10 minutes before carving. It approaches medium doneness during this time.
While the meat is set aside, cook the marinated vegetables for about 5 minutes on direct heat at a medium high temperature. Consider using a perforated grill pan. Optional is to cook in a pan on the stovetop.
Carve the meat (against the grain) into strips less than ¼-inch thick each.
BUILD Fajitas
The soft tortillas should be slightly warmed (consider 20-30 seconds in microwave).
10 medium Tortillas, white flour
Spread guacamole and sour cream are across the center of a tortilla.
⅖ cup Guacamole
Add 1 or 2 meat strips, Pico-de-Gallo, Salsa (optional), 2-3 onion rings, 2 bell pepper strips, shredded Cheddar Cheese (optional)
1¼ cups Pico de Gallo, ⅔ cup sour cream, ⅔ cup shredded cheddar cheese, ⅔ cup salsa
Fold tortilla (or roll up like a burrito) and serve.
