Ingredients
Before we get started, let’s take a look at the ingredients you’ll need to make Lupe Tortilla fajitas:
- 2 lbs. flank steak
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 yellow onion
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 Tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp. onion powder
- 1 Tbsp. cumin
- 1 Tbsp. chili powder
- 1 Tbsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
Marinade
First, we’ll prepare the marinade for the steak. In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vegetable oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the steak. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight if possible.
Vegetables
While the steak is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the bell peppers and onions into thin strips. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the vegetables to the skillet and cook until they are tender and slightly charred, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
Cooking the Steak
Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the steak for 6-8 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain into thin strips.
Assembling the Fajitas
Now it’s time to assemble the fajitas. Warm up some tortillas on a skillet or in the microwave. Spoon some of the cooked vegetables onto the tortilla, followed by some of the sliced steak. Add any additional toppings you like, such as sour cream or guacamole. Fold the tortilla up and enjoy!
