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.

Delicious recipe!!!
Thanks, Savina. So glad you love the fajitas.
Yummy!! Prep and refrigerate overnight gives marinade time to absorb deliciously.
Thank you for sharing, Robyn.
I agree, Amanda. I love to let mine marinate overnight, too. Sometimes, when I am in a hurry, I will let them marinate a few hours before cooking, too.
This was awesome. Very tasty
Thank you, Rosemary. So glad you enjoyed the steak fajitas.
Made these tonight! Fabulous!
Thanks, Robin!
I tried the steak fajitas and it was delicious! My family and I really enjoyed it. It was quick and easy to make! First time eating it and surely not the last.
I’m happy you and your family enjoyed these steak fajitas, Melanie. Thanks!
It was Very Good and will sure make it again. My only suggestion is to double the
marinate, which I did as I did not think there was quite enough.
I’m so glad you liked these fajitas, Elbert. I have found this is the amount of marinade that my family and I like but you can always make more if you wish.
My husband is a very poor eater. Very hard to make something he likes, but he was very complimentary with this recipe. Thank you for more than just a recipe!
I’m thrilled to hear that your husband loved these fajitas, Loretta. This is a favorite of my husband, too.
Awesome recipe!!! I did add a tish more salt and pepper and it was delicious!! The meat was really tender and flavorful!! I made some homemade guacamole!! Definitely will make again. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Everyone loved it and wanted the recipe😊
Thanks so much, Rosalynn. I’m thrilled everyone loved this fajita recipe.
This turned out soooooo good!! I only had top sirloin. I doubled the marinade, except for the evoo. I only used 4 1/2 tblsp. I added oregano. Coriander, And used new Mexico and California chile powder. I also used the juice of 2 limes. My hubby loved it!!
Thanks so much, Cathy. I’m so glad you both loved these steak fajitas.
I made this just today! Most times I’m disappointed when I try a new recipe from one of the cooking sites. I followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious. It’s a keeper.
Corinne, thank you. I’m so glad you loved this recipe. It is a favorite at our house.
