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.
