Ingredients

  • 2 Pounds of flank steak

For the Marinade:

  • ½ cup juice from an orange or limes
  • ¼ cup of Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 6 large cloves of garlic
  • ¼ small onion
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cumin

For the Fajita Vegetables:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 6-8 sweet mini peppers
  • 2-3 fresh jalapeno peppers
  • 1-2 onions sliced into 1/2" thick rounds

Instructions

  • Place flank steak on cutting board and remove any silver skin or excess fat. 
  • In a blender, mix all marinade ingredients. 
  • Add steak and marinade to ziploc bag or covered bowl and marinate at least 5 hours, preferably 12-24 hours. 
  • Heat grill to medium high heat. 
  • Add steaks and vegetables to grill and flip every 3 minutes until desired doneness - for medium rare, it will take about 10-12 minutes. 
  • Remove from grill and place on cookie sheet or cooling rack, tented with foil. Let rest at least 10 minutes. 
  • Slice steak against the grain into thin strips. 
  • Serve and enjoy!
