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 tsp of sugar in them – I don’t love sugar in my fajita seasoning mix, so I skip it – but you can add anywhere from 1/2 – 1 tsp white sugar if you’d like!
Steak Fajita Seasoning
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 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 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp 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!

One Pot Steak Fajitas Recipe
Ingredients
Fajita Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- Steak Fajitas
- 2 tbsp avocado oil, or other high heat oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 lb stir fry steak strips
- 1 white onion, sliced into half rounds
- 1 bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 3 cloves garlic, diced
- 1 jalapeno, sliced
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- 2 oz lime juice
Instructions
Steak Fajita Seasoning
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch, chili powder, salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and cumin and mix well.
- Set aside.
Steak Fajitas
- Season steak strips generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a cast iron skillet on medium until extremely hot (but not smoking).
- Add oil to pan and swirl around until shimmery.
- Add steak to pan and let brown, stirring often. Steak should cook quickly if heat is high enough, so stir often to prevent sticking or burning.
- When steak is browned (after about 2 minutes) – but not cooked through – add onions and peppers.
- Let steak, peppers, and onions cook until vegetables are browned and soft and steak is cooked through, about 4 minutes.
- Sprinkle seasoning mix over chicken and vegetables and stir to coat, adding lime juice to help coat. Add up to 2 tbsp water if needed to spread seasoning more evenly.
- Turn off heat and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve immediately.
