Easy Steak Fajitas

This steak recipe is marinate focused and so deliciously simple to throw together.

The meal I always ordered at TGIFriday’s when I was a teenager. It’s a great spicy hearty and fun dish for the family or with friends.

This dish is typically prepared with a whole flank steak. I like to use steak tips and slice them into thin strips. Why? With this method, the marinade reaches more of the meat. Also, there is no ambiguity when cooking, the strips cook quickly and evenly.

I love to complete this meal with corn tortillas, top them with my Avocado Sauce and cotija cheese. SO delicious.
