Steak Fajita Seasoning Recipe
Since fajitas are such a simple dish, these steak fajitas definitely need a fajita seasoning blend that you really love.
You can use store-bought fajita seasoning - or I'm suggesting one I really love below.
Some fajita seasonings use up to 1 teaspoon of sugar in them - I don't love sugar in my fajita seasoning mix, so I skip it - but you can add anywhere from ½ - 1 teaspoon white sugar if you'd like!
Steak Fajita Seasoning
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
How To Make Steak Fajitas Sizzle
To present this recipe as sizzling fajitas, like your favorite restaurant, you will need to make a little bit of modifications - but it's really simple!
- First off, you'll want to NOT cook your fajitas in a cast iron skillet - but you will still need a cast iron pan. Pop it in the oven as high as your oven will go as you cook your fajitas in another pan - we will be presenting them in the scorching hot cast iron - but cooking the fajitas in another pan.
- Toss steak in fajita spices and cook them in a separate pan on the stovetop.
- When steak is cooked through, and pan in the oven is SCORCHING hot, carefully remove cast iron from oven and place on a trivet or other safe and sturdy surface.
- Working quickly (carefully!) add sliced peppers and onions to pan, then place steak over it.
- Quickly pour 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon oil into the pan - it will start sizzling just like at a restaurant!
- Let vegetables cook as the sizzling dies down, serve, and wow your guests with a sizzling plate of fajitas!

Steak Fajitas
- Season steak strips generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a cast iron skillet on medium until extremely hot (but not smoking).
