Easy Steak Fajitas
Tender, juicy, melt-in-your-mouth slices of steak with bell peppers and onion. SO SO GOOD. Serve with tortillas, pico and guacamole.
It’s funny. When I lived in Los Angeles, we could grill all year long. And I never really took it for granted until this week. And now Ben uses the grill in 40 degree weather in his parka and beanie, shivering.
I guess it’s not that funny at all. Well, at least I’m not the one outside grilling in the coldest weather ever.
Anyway, if you’re in Chiberia like me, you can employ your partner to go outside to take care of all the labor. Or if you are lucky enough to live in Southern California with sunny 70 degree weather, you can definitely grill this.
But for those who don’t have access to a grill, no problem. You can still make the easiest steak fajitas ever. The steak can be thrown onto a cast iron skillet, and the veggies can cook on the stovetop while your meat rests.
See, told you. Super easy, quick, and fast.
Serve with tortillas (you can easily throw your tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds while you cook your steak/peppers/onion), pico and guacamole. Or you can simply eat your steak and veggies because, well, Atkins diet, no?
