How do you make steak fajita's?

Question

Easy recipe please! I'm a beginner.

Detailed instructions appreciated!

Answer 1

Everyone else's answers are pretty good, but they have all skipped the most important step.  Soak your skirt steak overnight in budweiser.  I am not joking.  It naturally tenderizes the meat and the alcohol cooks out.  I also like to score the meat with a fillet knife, brush a little evoo on it, and add the seasonings on top of that.  If you cook them on a grill it only takes about 6-8 minutes.

Answer 2

1 lb flank or skirt steak

two onions sliced

2 red bell peppers slices

1 lb sliced mushrooms if desired

marinade:

juice of one lime

1/4 cup oil

1 jalapeno pepper chopped

2 cloves garlic

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon oregano

combine ingresiants for marinade in a plastic zip top bag and marinate steak overnight.

prepare a grill for high heat grilling. grill steak over high heat for about 5 or 6 minutes checking to make sure it is not burning. turn steak and cook to desired temperature.4 or 5 minutes for med rare, 6 to 7 minutes more for medium. 8 to 10 minutes more for med well

remove steak and cover with foil.

heat 2 tablespoons of oil till hot in a heavy skillet and add onion, peppers and mushrooms (if using)

cook till veggies are tender about 5 minutes

meanwhile slice steak thinly against the grain (it will be short ways) place meat slices directly on top of veggies in skillet. bring to table
