Steak fajitas are delicious, but Grilled Steak Fajitas are even better. Flank steak is tenderized and seasoned in a zesty fajita marinade. Then it’s grilled, sliced and served with sizzling peppers and onions in soft flour tortillas with your favorite toppings.

Directions

1
Place guajillo peppers in a pot with 4 cups of water and boil for 5 minutes until soft. Remove peppers from water and place in a food processor with a ½ cup of the boiling water. Add garlic, cilantro, onion and jalapeno. Blend until smooth.

Squeeze juice from oranges, lemon and limes into a large bowl. Stir in the guajillo pepper mixture. Add salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano and cayenne pepper. Reserve a ½ cup of the marinade and store in the refrigerator. Place flank steak in the marinade and store in the refrigerator for 4 hours, up to 2 days.

Remove flank steak from refrigerator 1 hour before grilling and bring to room temperature.
