Steak Fajitas Recipe
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.

Great fajitas! Chicken or steak, makes them taste great. No more store bought seasoning!!!
Thanks, Erika!
Now that I made these once, they are a weekly menu item! My husband recommends having them every chance he gets! We absolutely love them!
I love when one of my recipes become a favorite at someone else’s house. Thanks, Morgan!
Very good I used a t bone steak I had on hand. The seasonings were perfect. I will never buy a package of fajita seasoning again.
Thanks, Linda. I’m happy it worked so well for you.
Easy and delicious. Uses ingredients you have in your cupboard. This will be my go to.
Thanks, Sharon. I’m so happy you love this recipe.
I am giving this recipe 5 stars all day. It is so delicious. It’s a must try. The flavor is amazing, just right about the amount and everything. It’s very quick to make. The house smells so good. I baked mine in a sheet pan in the oven @ 400 for 30 min. You’ll feel like you’re eating in a Restaurant. This is a great recipe for all seasons. Thanks so much for this delicious recipe. Can’t wait to try more of your recipes 😀
Thank you, Geri. I hope you do find many more recipes you love.
Just Delicious made last night for my hubby he loved them! Made them with Torillaland tortillas better than going out to eat SOOO GOOD! Can this exact recipe be used to make with chicken tenders?
Yes, you can make this with chicken tenders. I have the Chicken Fajitas Recipe that uses chicken breasts but you could use chicken tenders if you wish. Thanks, Donna!
Love this recipe!! I double the recipe. I do not divide the marinade into thirds. I double the marinade for vegetables then double again for steak, and then double again for marinade for after veggies and steak are cooked to add a little if needed. Thanks for the great recipe!!!
Thanks, Kelly!
WOW! AMAZING! These fajitas tasted like they were from a restaurant! My husband absolutely loved them as well. This one is a staple in my recipes now. Next time I invite family members this will be the dish I will be serving so they can be amazed! Thank you so much!!!! Soo delicious and full of flavor! Also best part quick and easy to make!!
Thank you, Mabel. I love that I can make these for my family whenever they want it and we don’t have to go out to a restaurant.
