Equipment

  • large cast-iron skillet

Ingredients 

  • 2 lb flank steak (sliced and cut into 1 inch strips)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper (cut into strips)
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper (cut into strips)
  • 1 medium green bell pepper (cut into strips)
  • 1 large onion (sliced)
  • 1 ½ cup beer (corona or modelo)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 lime (juice)
  • olive oil (as needed)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Place the beef in a mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin. Generously season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the beer and mix thoroughly until the beef is nicely coated with the marinade.
  • Cover the bowl with cling film and place in the fridge allowing the beef to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Heat a griddle or a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil and grill the peppers with a pinch of salt and pepper until they start to soften on the inside but they’re still crunchy on the outside.
  • Remove the peppers from the griddle and place them in a bowl. Cover with foil to prevent vegetables from drying out.
  • Now cook the onions the same way as the peppers and once cooked place them in the bowl with the peppers.
  • Add a generous drizzle of oil to the pan and add the meat. Cook stirring constantly until the meat has changed color and is cooked through (about 4 minutes).
  • Return the vegetables to the pan with the meat, give a quick mix, and turn off the heat.
  • Serve the fajitas de res hot along with your favorite sides.
