Stunning Steak Fajitas
We're lucky enough to live next to a wonderful market and with that comes great produce at a great price so whilst steak may seem like a treat, it doesn't have to be if you make friends with your local butcher.
This is a fantastic weekend meal as not only is it delicious and comforting but it's also incredibly simple and speedy to make. The rub for the steak is smoky and spicy and fresh with garlic and oregano whilst the stir-fried onions and pepper provide sweetness as well as acidity from the wine vinegar. I love this dish and I'm sure you will you too!
Stunning Steak Fajitas
Serves 2
oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
2 x rump steaks (approx. 130g each)
1 yellow pepper, cut into strips
1 red onion, sliced
1 tbsp sherry or red wine vinegar
salt and pepper
To serve:
flour tortillas
salad leaves
Greatest Ever Guacamole (or shop-bought)
cheese, for grating
Mix all the dried herbs and spices together with 2 tbsp of oil and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper. Rub the steaks all over with this marinade and set aside. Heat a griddle pan or frying pan over a high heat.
In a medium frying pan, add a drizzle of oil and stir fry the pepper and onion over a medium-high heat until beginning to soften. Once starting to char around the edges, add the vinegar and a generous amount of salt and pepper then take off the heat.
Once the griddle pan is smoking hot, place the steaks fat side down in the pan and allow the fat to melt for a few seconds. Next, cook the steaks for 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on how you like your steaks cooked. For me, this dish works best with rare steaks so a minute each side is enough. Allow to rest for 2 minutes then slice.
To assemble, spread guacamole all over a tortilla, top with a handful of salad leaves then the sautéed peppers and onions. Lay over steak slices and then grate over a good amount of cheese. Wrap it all up and enjoy!
