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.

I’m trying this recipe I have frozen pepper an onions will they work for this recipe my hands are so bent twisted I can’t hardly use knife
I haven’t made these fajitas with frozen peppers and onions, Ruth, but otheers have said that they thawed them in the marinade and the fafjitas were delicious. Hope you enjoy!
Whenever I need a recipe my first place to turn is Add a Pinch and I tell all of my friends to do the same. Recipes are easy and soooooo good.
Thank you, Judy. I appreciate you recommending Add a Pinch to your friends.
I made this recipe tonight. It was delicious. Will make again..
Hi dear Robyn!
Can I substitute the beef with chicken?
You can substitute chicken, Isabelle. Here is my Chicken Fajitas Recipe. Hope you enjoy!
I love this recipe and I am no longer looking for a good beef fajita recipe. The result is fantastic. Robin thank you.

Hi Robyn! Just making this marinade and it doesn’t seem like enough to do the steak, veg and then do the cooking. Almost seems like I should double it?
Patti, I have found this is the amount of marinade that my family and I like but you can always make more if you wish. Hope you enjoy.
Great recipe. This was easy to make and flavorful. Normally I have used a Mrs. Dash no salt mix, but with this recipe I can control the amount of sodium and use fresh ingredients and it tastes just as good if not better. I am saving this recipe to make again.
I’m glad this recipe helps you control your salt intake, Kurt. I always love the flavor the fresh ingredients add to the fajitas, too. Thanks!
Can I use Pork Tenderloin?
Rosie, you could use pork tenderloin instead of the steak if you prefer. Hope you enjoy!
Great recipe I use this every time I want to make Fajitas at my house for the weekend. I always have to double the recipe thank you.
I love that you use this recipe each time you make fajitas, Michael. Thanks!
Delicious. I’ve added this to my sheet of go-to recipes. Because I can never let anything be, I doubled the marinade and cooked the skirt steak whole. But I don’t think there is anything else I’d adjust. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the fajitas, Joshua.
My husband said this was the best steak fajitas he’s ever had. We will be using this recipe again for sure!
Oh, thanks so much, Melissa. I’m so happy your husband thinks they are the best!
