South Texas Steak Fajitas image

This steak fajita recipe uses bottled Italian salad dressing as part of the steak marinade to make it quick and convenient. For a healthy choice, pick dressing with a short and simple ingredient list including canola or olive oil. Serve the steak fajitas with fresh pico de gallo, guacamole and cold beer.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 fresh jalapeño peppers, stems and seeds removed
1 small onion, quartered
¼ cup fresh cilantro
¾ cup beer, pale ale or lager
½ cup Italian salad dressing (see Tips)
⅓ cup lime juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 bay leaf
1 pound skirt steak (see Tips)
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 New Mexican green chiles or poblano peppers (see Tips), seeded and cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 medium onion, halved and cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
⅛ teaspoon salt
8 6-inch flour tortillas, heated

Steps:

  • To marinate steak: Place jalapenos, quartered onion and cilantro in a blender or food processor and blend until finely chopped. Add beer, salad dressing, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and cumin and puree until smooth. Stir in bay leaf. Place steak in a gallon-size sealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Close and refrigerate, turning occasionally, for at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • To grill steak: Preheat grill to medium-high.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade and place on the grill. (Discard marinade.) Grill 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium. Remove the steak to a clean cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • To prepare vegetables: Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add chiles and onion strips, sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until blackened in spots and just softened, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Holding your knife at a 45-degree angle to the steak, very thinly slice across the grain--this helps keep the fajita tender. Serve the steak and vegetables on a platter with the tortillas so everyone can make their own fajitas at the table.

  • Pull the fajita meat from the marinade and lay flat on a cookie sheet while you heat your grill, or begin your charcoal.
  • When the grill is as hot as it can be, or the charcoal has turned gray, place the meat down in the middle of the hottest part of the grill. Close the chamber or place the lid on the grill. If you're using charcoal, make sure you vent the lid so that the air will feed the coals.
  • Sear the meat 5-7 minutes on one side and then check it. If it's not seared continue to cook it on one side until you can get at least a decent sear on the first side. Flip it, and cook it 4-6 minutes. When you gently poke the meat with your finger it should still be a little squishy. This will give you about a medium cook on the meat, and it will continue to cook as it rests.
