Beef Fajitas
Ingredients
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup tequila
4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried crushed Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 pounds flank steak, fat trimmed
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 large flour tortillas
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced
1 large white onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Lime wedges, accompaniment
Cold Mexican beer, or tequila shots
Directions
In a bowl, whisk together the lime juice, tequila, garlic,
cilantro, 1 tablespoon of the oil, the Worcestershire sauce,
oregano, pepper flakes, cumin and coriander. Pour into a large
zip-lock bag, add the steak, and seal. Place in a baking dish and
refrigerate for at least 12 and up to 24 hours, turning occasionally.
Remove the meat from the bag and pat dry. Season on both sides
with 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper.
Preheat the grill to high, and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Wrap the tortillas in foil and place in the oven for 15 minutes to
warm and soften. Remove from the oven and keep warm in
the aluminum foil.
Cook the steak over the grill to preferred temperature, 3 to 4
minutes per side for medium rare. Remove from the heat and
let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium-high
heat. Add the peppers and onions, and cook, stirring, until soft and
slightly caramelized, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the garlic, remaining
teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, until
the garlic is fragrant and soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Divide among the warmed
tortillas and top with the vegetables. Squeeze with lime juice and
serve immediately with cold beer or tequila shots.
