Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp high-heat oil I use peanut
- 1 ½ lb beef fajita meat
- 1 onion halved and cut into thin strips
- 1 bell pepper halved and cut into thin strips
- 2 oz taco seasoning
- ½ cup cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup black or pinto beans optional
- Salsa optional
Instructions
- Heat 2 cast irons pan in oven at 450 degrees.
- Prep veggies and meat- let meat come to room temperature and pat it dry with a paper towel.
- Turn vent fan on high.
- Turn stove on high, carefully move very hot cast iron pans from oven to stovetop.
- Add oil to pans, swirl around.
- Add meat to one pan, carefully (don't splatter oil when adding meat in, as it will be very hot!)
- Add veggies to other pan.
- Stir veggies and meat to prevent burning, but let them get a good browning on all sides- about 8 minutes.
- If using taco/fajita seasoning, add to pan with 2 tbsp water, right before plating. Cook off any extra water.
- Remove from heat and plate! If you want to create a "sizzle" sound like at a restaurant, splash a little water or a touch of soy sauce and oil in the pan.
- Plate your salad with lettuce, tomatoes, beans. Layer fajita veggies and meat on top, and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over.
- Dress with salsa, if preferred.
