I like to take this amazing steak fajitas recipe even further in the time-saving and easy-peasy department. I like to prep it the night before when I know I will serve it the next day.
How to Make Steak Fajitas with Meal Prep Tips:
My steak fajitas recipe is perfect for easy meal prep to make weeknight meals even easier! Here’s how to meal prep my steak fajitas:
- Slice peppers and onion and make the marinade.
- Place the veggies in one zip-top bag and the steak in another. Add 1/3 of the marinade to each bag, seal it, and turn the bag to make sure that all of the ingredients are coated with the marinade.
- Put it all in the refrigerator to marinate overnight. Refrigerate the remaining marinade.
- It’s ready in minutes when I cook it for supper the next evening.
Now that is perfect for a quick and easy dinner!
Here’s my family favorite Steak Fajita Recipe. I hope it helps you with supper when you are short on time. Most of all, I hope you love it as much as we do!
Steak Fajitas Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 pounds skirt, flank, sirloin, or hanger steak , sliced into 1/2 inch strips
- 1 red pepper, deseeded and sliced into thin strips
- 1 bell pepper, deseeded and sliced into thin strips
- 1 medium onion, peeled and sliced into thin strips
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- pinch cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 6-8 tortillas, warmed
Instructions
- Place the steak into a sealable bag. Place the peppers and onion into a separate sealable bag. Add the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and garlic to a jar with a screw top or tight fitting lid. Shake until well combined. Pour 1/3 of the marinade over steak, 1/3 of marinade over vegetables and reserve the remaining marinade in the jar for using when cooking the steak fajitas. Seal the bags tightly and refrigerate for one hour to overnight.
- When ready to cook, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour the vegetables into the skillet and cook until just tender crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet to a plate and add steak strips to the same skillet. When the steak is cooked throughout (about 7-10 minutes), add vegetables back to the skillet along with the reserved marinade.
- Serve with warm tortillas and desired optional garnishes.

Freshly back on my own at 66 yo. and relearning to cook. I found some thin sliced sirloin that was red stickered for being close to the use by date. I sliced it up for fajita meat but I had never made fajita before. So I found this recipe and tried it. I didn’t have any lime juice so I tried lemon juice. Also added a couple of shakes of the Worchester sauce. I’m here to say, this recipe is delicious. Great recipe and thaaaaank you!
Don, I’m so glad this recipe worked so well for you. I hope you find many more easy to make recipes at my site that you enjoy.
This recipe blew us away. It is really good, the flavor is so so good. I feel leaving them marinate overnight helped. The were just as delicious following day for leftovers! Keeper!

We doubled the marinade and it was a bit soupy after cooking, maybe a bit less next time. Delicious!!!!

Thank you MsMC. I’m so glad you enjoyed the steak fajitas. I don’t double the marinade and find that I have just the right amount for my steak.

I made this. It was delicious! I added mushrooms, because I love them, and I happen to have them and it was a great addition.
These were delicious! My family thought they were as good as our favourite Tex mex restaurant, Lone Star. I will be making these again, for sure.
