Gluten, Dairy

Ingredients

• 2 large beef flank steaks (600 g each)
• 4 bell peppers, various colors
• 1 large onion
• 1 bottle Firecracker Steak Marinade (see recipe below)
• 8 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 avocados, sliced
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• Fresh cilantro leaves
• Salt and pepper, to taste Firecracker Steak Marinade:
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the ingredients for Firecracker Steak Marinade. Reserve 1/2 cup of marinade for cooking.
2. Slice the flank steaks into thin strips and place them in a shallow dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the beef, ensuring it's evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
3. Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450°F/230°C). Slice bell peppers and onion into strips, similar in size to the steak pieces. Set aside.
4. Thread marinated beef onto skewers, alternating with bell pepper and onion slices. Discard any remaining marinade.
5. Grill skewers for 3 4 minutes per side or until meat reaches desired doneness. Brush reserved marinade over the skewers while grilling for extra flavor.
6. Warm flour tortillas on the grill, about 20 seconds on each side. Keep them wrapped in a clean towel to maintain warmth.
7. Assemble fajitas: Place a portion of steak and vegetables on each tortilla, top with cheese, sour cream, avocado slices, lime wedges, and cilantro leaves. Season with salt and pepper as desired.

Chef’s Insight

The marinade not only tenderizes the meat but also creates a delicious, slightly sweet crust when grilled.

Notes

For an even smokier flavor, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using.
