Cooking Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the Fajita Seasoning (1 1/2 Tbsp) , Ground Cumin (1/2 tsp) , Dried Oregano (1/2 tsp) , Simply Organic Garlic Powder (1 tsp) , Paprika (1 tsp) , Brown Sugar (1 tsp) , Salt (to taste) , and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) . Mix well.

In a large tray or ziplock bag, season the Skirt Steak (1 lb) with half of the fajitas seasoning mixture and Sunflower Oil (1 Tbsp) . Mix well and marinate for at least an hour but better overnight in the fridge.

30 minutes before you are ready to cook the steak, prepare your veggies. In a large mixing bowl, combine Red Bell Pepper (1) , Yellow Bell Pepper (1) , and Red Onion (1) with the remaining Sunflower Oil (1 Tbsp) , and the remaining half of the fajitas seasoning mixture. Mix well.

Heat a cast iron skillet with a little oil over high heat until there is some smoke. Cook the steak for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness.

Transfer the steak to the cutting board and cover with aluminum foil. Let the meat rest for about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in the same skillet over high heat, cook the veggies for about 5 minutes. Stirring occasionally. Once done, turn off the heat.

Cut the steak against the grain to desired thickness. Bring the steak strips back to the skillet.

Garnish with Fresh Cilantro (1/4 bunch) . Serve hot along with Small Corn Tortillas (12) , Guacamole (1 cup) , Pico de Gallo (1 cup) , Sour Cream (1 cup) , and Lime Wedges (1) on the side.
