Instructions:

  1. Start off by drying your flank steak and then scoring the steak on each side, don’t penetrate too deep, enough to allow the marinade to be absorbed. Now salt your flank steak generously on both sides.2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl add the avocado oil, lime juice, honey, chili flakes, cumin, Serrano, honey, garlic and cilantro. Mix together with a whisk or fork.
  2. In a one-gallon zip lock bag or container, add the flank steak and pour your marinade in. Zip air tight and mix well. Place it in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
  3. The next day 1 hour prior to grilling your flank steak begin to prep your ingredients, the bell peppers and onions. Get your grill fired up for direct grilling.
  4. Add a large cast-iron for your veggies and some avocado oil and then the bell peppers and onion, and season with salt at this time. Sauté for 4-6 mins and then begin searing your steak. Sear for 2 mins, turn 90 degrees and then flip and repeat (remove your steak at 125 internal temps). After the first time you flip the flank steak, add honey and balsamic glaze to your veggies and toss to mix them. This will caramelize your veggies and become amazing!
  5. Remove cast iron and place it on the grill at low heat to keep it warm. 
  6. Slice your steak after 8-10 min rest. Add the steak to the cast iron with the veggies and begin to toast your tortillas.
  7. Time to assemble your fajita. Add the steak, and caramelized veggies and garnish with cilantro with a drizzle of lime juice.
  8. Enjoy with family and friends!

So there you have it, a delicious and easy weeknight meal that will please the whole family. Chili lime steak fajitas are definitely a dish we’ll be adding to our regular rotation. What about you? Will you give them a try?
