Ingredients
For the Fajita Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
For the Steak Fajitas
- 2 lbs top round or sirloin steak

Instructions
- Make the fajita seasoning. Combine all of the spices in a small glass bowl and container. Mix together and then set aside.
- Slice the steak against the grain. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the beef strips.
- Remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers and then slice them and onions into thin strips. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the steak strips and cook until medium rare.
- Sprinkle one tablespoon of seasoning over the steak adding one tablespoon of water. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside on a plate or platter. Cover with foil to keep warm.
- Repeat with the other half of the steak strips.
- Using the same skillet, heat the last tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and cook until slightly softened. Then add the onions and cook until both are softened and slightly charred, about 4-6 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the rest of the fajita seasoning with one tablespoon of water and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Place the cooked peppers and onions on the plate or platter next to the steak.
- Taste for salt and pepper, and then squirt with lime juice and sprinkle with cilantro.
- Serve with tortillas and condiments. To warm the tortillas, place them between 2 damp paper towels and microwave for 20-25 seconds or until warm.
