Beef Fajitas

Because I love yummy food. And this is easy, too! When you are cutting the steak, after it has rested, be sure to reserve the juices for serving.

Ingredients
1 flank steak (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1 large onion, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds (do not separate into rings)
1 green bell pepper, prepared as below
1 red bell pepper, prepared as below
1 yellow or orange bell pepper, prepared as below
1 lime, halved (one have juiced and one half cut into wedges and reserved for serving)
salt and pepper

Accompaniments:
Tortillas
Crema Agria (or traditional sour cream)
Salsa
Guacamole (or chopped avocado)

1. Preheat gas grill on high for 15 minutes.

2. Generously sprinkle both sides of steak with lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. Grill steak, covered, until well seared and dark brown on one side, 5 to 7 minutes. Using tongs, flip steak; continue grilling until interior of meat is slightly less done than you want it to be when you eat it, 2 to 5 minutes more for rare or medium-rare (depending on thickness of steak).

3. Transfer meat to cutting board; cover loosely with foil and let rest for 10 minutes.

4. While meat rests, turn burners to medium. Grill onions and peppers, covered, turning occasionally, until onions are lightly charred, about 6 minutes, and peppers are streaked with dark grill marks, about 10 minutes. Remove vegetables from grill and cut into long, thin strips; set aside.

5. Slice steak very thin on bias against grain; adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper. Arrange sliced meat and vegetables on large platter; serve immediately with tortillas, passing salsa, guacamole and sour cream separately.


STEP BY STEP: Cutting Peppers For the Grill


Remove and discard a thin slice from the top and bottom of each pepper. Pull out the seeds. Slice down one side of the pepper, then lay it flat, skin side down. Slide a sharp knife along the inside of the pepper to remove the ribs.
