Beef Fajitas With Avocado And Pea Salsa Recipes

BEEF FAJITAS

Steps:

• Whisk olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add steak strips, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours to overnight.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir beef in hot skillet until all liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Serve cooked beef with tortillas, salsa and Mexican cheese blend.

BEEF AND AVOCADO FAJITAS

Steps:

• Heat a well-seasoned ridged grill pan (preferably cast-iron) over moderately high heat until beginning to smoke, then brush with oil.
• While pan heats, pat steak dry and stir together spices and salt, then rub all over both sides of steak.
• Grill steak, turning over once, 9 to 11 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut romaine crosswise into thin shreds. Quarter avocados lengthwise, then pit, peel, and cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• While steak is standing, stack tortillas, wrapped completely in dampened paper towels, on a microwave-safe plate and cook in a microwave oven at high power (100 percent) until tortillas are hot, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Holding knife at a 45-degree angle, thinly slice steak across the grain. Serve with tortillas, avocado, romaine, and cilantro.

BEEF FAJITAS WITH AVOCADO AND PEA SALSA

Steps:

• Lay the steak out on a plate.
• Sprinkle it with salt and pepper and smear half the garlic on both sides of the steak.
• Mix together the cumin, coriander and chilli in a small bowl and spread it evenly over the steak with your fingers.
• Leave the steak for 10-15 minutes, then squeeze one of the limes over the top.
• Put a small pan of water on to boil, then add the peas.
• Boil for a couple minutes, then drain and cool.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl squeeze the juice of one lime over the avocado.
• Add the onion, remaining garlic, tomatoes and mix.
• Trim and split the chillies, scrape away their seeds (unless you want to keep a few seeds for heat) and dice finely.
• Add those to the avocado salsa, along with the cold peas and fresh coriander, and season with salt and pepper.
• Cook the steak by heating a griddle pan until very hot.
• Lay the steak in the pan, cook for two minutes, turn and repeat on the other side.
• Continue until cooked as you like it, then let rest for a few minutes before slicing the steak thinly.
• Fan the steak across a platter and edge the plate with watercress and lime wedges.
• Serve with the salsa, tzatziki or yogurt, and the tortillas.
• Let everyone roll their own for messy but fun eating!
