Steak Fajitas on a Plancha
Ingredients
- For the Steak:
- 1.5 lbs skirt or flank steak
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp paprika
- Salt & pepper to taste
- For the Veggies:
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 yellow onion sliced
- 1 tbsp oil for grilling
- To Serve:
- Warm tortillas corn or flour
- Chopped cilantro
- Lime wedges
- Sliced avocado or guacamole
- Salsa or hot sauce
Instructions
- Marinate the Steak
- Mix lime juice, oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub onto steak. Let marinate 15–30 mins (or longer for deeper flavor).
- Heat the Plancha
- Get it screaming hot — like, you better hear that sizzle when the steak hits.
- Cook the Steak
- Grill for 3–4 mins per side. Let rest for 5 mins before slicing against the grain.
- Sauté the Veggies
- Toss peppers & onion with oil + salt. Grill 5–7 mins until tender and slightly charred.
- Slice & Serve
- Thinly slice steak, load up tortillas, and hit it with your toppings of choice.
Notes
- Slice against the grain = tender bites.
- Let steak rest or risk dry, sad meat.
- No plancha? Cast iron skillet or grill pan will do.
- Marinate it — lime juice = flavor + tenderizer.
