Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the marinade ingredients and mix well. Add the beef steak, bell pepper, and onion, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated in the marinade. Let it rest for 30 minutes.

- Assemble the fajitas by placing a generous portion of sliced beef, grilled vegetables, and your favorite toppings in each tortilla. Serve immediately with a side of sizzling fajita sauce for added excitement.
Chef’s Insight
To add an extra smoky flavor, marinate the beef for up to 2 hours in advance.
