Restaurant Style Steak Fajitas

Steak Fajitas are a Tex-Mex restaurant staple. Made with juicy grilled meat, charred peppers, and onions, and served with warm tortillas, SOO SOO GOOD. 

One of my favorite things to order at Mexican restaurants is fajitas! However, they have to come out on that sizzling plate, and you know what I am talking out! The smell of onions and peppers can take over a room and give you order envy. I don’t live that way. Bring me the fajitas, please! I’ll eat my salad at home!

Luckily for us, we can pretty much grill year-round in Southern California. But if you don’t have access to a grill, no problem! You can cook these juicy steak fajitas on your cast iron skillet if you have a cast iron grill, even better. While the meat rests, you can throw your veggies in the cast iron or cook them in a separate pan. 

The marinade doubles as a sauce, you will save about a 1/4 cup to pour over your prepared fajitas; this really gives it so much flavor!

Traditionally these are served with refried beans, rice, salsa, guacamole, and warm tortillas. While the Steak Fajitas are cooking, you can prep the extras, as many or little few as you like! We serve this family-style big tray of fajitas, rice and beans, tortillas, and all the fixings to load up your way! So let’s grill and bring your favorite Tex-Mex meal to the table today!

Serve this up with some Fresh Corn Salsa and Pico de Gallo!
