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.

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.

Hi, I’m in the process of making this. Are you sure this is enough marinade for all this beef and vegetables? 4 tbls of liquid + spices.
It always has been enough for us but you can always add more if you wish, Jacob.
This is wonderful, quick and easy. I made them using bbq grilled elk ribeye steaks. I marinated the steak for about 30 minutes, as this was a last minute meal. Thank you for great recipe.
Linda, I bet the fajitas are amazing with elk ribeye steaks. Thanks!
Made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! I marinated the meat for 5 hours & it was very tasty. Thank you for sharing & inspiring me.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the steak fajita recipe. Thanks!
Made it for company. They loved it.
I’m so glad everyone loved the fajitas, Gerry. Thanks!
Absolutely delicious. And very easy
Thanks, Rhonda. So glad you love the fajitas.
Do you think this could be baked? I have a chicken fajita recipe that is very similar to this one and I bake it. It would be super convenient for me if so LOL. But beef is so expensive right now I am scared to take a chance and it not be good!
I haven’t baked these fajitas, Amber, but some have commented that they did and they were delicious. Hope you enjoy!
Made the easy steak fajitas, the family thought they were delicious!
I’m so glad your family enjoyed the steak fajitas, Monica. Thanks!
Amazing!!! Made this recipe to help out a friend in need and WOW was it ever good. He really wanted fajitas so I was going to make him chicken fajitas, which is what I normally make, but he’s going through radiation right now and chicken is upsetting his stomach. Decided to find a steak fajita recipe and see how it came out. This was really flavorful and easy. Made a double recipe so that me and my family could have some too…will definitely be making it again. It’s a keeper for sure!
Thanks, Roni. I’m so happy your friend and your family liked this recipe. I hope your friend does well with his treatments.
These were so good and easy!! Perfect week night dinner
So glad you enjoyed them, Katie. Thanks!
I grew up in the southwest, eating fajitas all my life. You got the nail on the head with your recipe. Absolutely delicious. I will say, for some who like them spicy(er), add a sliced, deribbed and seeded jalapeno with the veggies? My husband loves them spicy hot. Thank you for sharing this recipe. It’s a keeper
Thanks so much, Tari. I agree with your tip for adding the jalapeno for those who want this spicier.
I was skeptical but turned out to be good. I used less meat.
I’m glad they fajitas turned out well for you, Barbara. Thanks!
