You’ll Need

  • 1½ – 2 lb sirloin or striploin steak
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 3 Tbsp grapeseed oil
  • 2 tsp cumin or chili powder

Prep and Cook

  • Marinate beef in large resealable bag with garlic, lime juice, 2 Tbsp grapeseed oil and chili powder for at least two hours. (If it's soccer night, 10 minutes is fine too.)
  • Preheat barbeque or heavy grill pan to medium-high heat (or until smoking).
  • Remove beef from marinade and cook each side for approximately 4 minutes, or until beef is cooked medium rare.
  • While beef is cooking, add 1 Tbsp grapeseed oil to large non-stick skillet and quickly stir-fry red onion, red and yellow peppers.
  • Transfer steak to a cutting board and let it sit for a few minutes.
  • Wrap tortillas in tinfoil and warm them in a preheated oven or on the BBQ for 1-2 minutes.
  • Slice beef into thin strips.
  • Divide beef, onions and grilled peppers among the tortillas.
  • Serve fajitas with sides of chopped avocado, sour cream, salsa, cilantro and cheddar cheese.
  • Once filled, roll up the tortilla and serve with a green salad and/or steamed veggies.
