Copycat Street-Food Sizzling Surf & Turf Fajitas

Allergens

Shellfish (shrimp), Soy (Worcestershire sauce)

Ingredients

• 1 lb beef flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain 1 lb fresh jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced 1 cup chicken broth 1/4 cup lime juice 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 2 tsp ground cumin 2 tsp smoked paprika 2 tsp chili powder 1 tbsp minced garlic Salt and pepper, to taste 8
• 10 large flour tortillas, warmed

Instructions

1. In a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, combine the beef flank steak with chicken broth, lime juice, half of the vegetable oil, Worcestershire sauce, cumin, paprika, chili powder, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
2. In another large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, combine the shrimp with the remaining vegetable oil, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside to marinate while preparing the vegetables.
3. Heat a large grill pan or cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Grill the steak for 2 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips.
4. In the same grill pan, add the shrimp and cook for 1 2 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. In the same grill pan, add the peppers and onions, along with a splash of the leftover marinade from the steak, and cook until tender and slightly charred.
6. Assemble the fajitas by placing a generous portion of steak, shrimp, peppers, and onions onto each warm tortilla, folding into a taco shape, and serving immediately.

Chef’s Insight

Marinating the meats and vegetables separately ensures even flavor distribution and prevents overly soggy textures.
