For the fajitas:

• 1 bell pepper (any color), sliced

Instructions

1. Marinate the steak:

1. Cook the steak:

• Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
• Grill or sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness).

1. Rest the steak:

1. Sauté the vegetables:

• In the same skillet (or another pan), heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

1. Assemble the fajitas:

• Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
• Fill each tortilla with sliced steak and sautéed veggies. Top with your favorite toppings.

1. Serve:

• Enjoy your spicy steak fajitas with lime wedges on the side!
