Ingredients

  • 1 pound skirt or flank steak, sliced against the grain into ¼-inch strips
  • 3 tablespoons fajita seasoning, divided
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice, plus more for garnish
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded, halved, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded, halved, thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow onion, halved, thinly sliced into half-moons

Instructions

  • To a large bowl, add steak strips, 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and lime juice. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 390°F.*
  • In a medium bowl, combine the peppers, onions, remaining fajita seasoning, and remaining oil. Toss to evenly coat.
  • To the basket of your air fryer, add the veggie mixture. Air fry for 7 minutes. After 7 minutes, shake the air fryer basket to turn the veggie mixture. Then, add the marinated steak on top. Air fry for an additional 7-8 minutes, or until the steak is cooked to your liking.**
  • Serve on tortillas with pico de gallo, cheese, sour cream, or your favorite fajita toppings.

Notes

*Oven Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place peppers and onions in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes. Then, stir and add steak to the pan. Bake for 5-10 more minutes.
  4. Broil on high for 2-3 minutes to crisp up the steak and vegetables.
 
**When Is Steak Done?
Determining when your flank steak is done cooking is really up to you. A meat thermometer comes in handy to check for doneness. Just because the outside looks amazing doesn’t mean it’s ready to be removed from the oven or grill. Depending on your preference, here are some internal temperatures you can use as a guide when cooking steak:
125°F = Rare–Bright red center; cool to warm to the touch
130-135°F = Medium Rare–Dark pink red color center; warm to the touch
140°F = Medium–Pink center; completely warm to the touch
145°F = Medium-well–Mostly brown center with a tiny bit of pink in the middle
It’s important to remember that it will continue to cook a little bit after it’s removed from the oven or grill.
