Grilled Steak Fajitas
(makes 12 servings)
| 2 | tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lime juice |
| 1 | tablespoon (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce |
| 2 | tablespoons (30 ml) ground cumin |
| 1 | teaspoon (5 ml) chili powder |
| 2 | pounds (960 g) sirloin steak, trimmed of all fat |
| 3 | bell peppers, 1 pound (480 g) total -- 1 red, 1 yellow, and 1 green, seeded and cut into thin strips |
| 1 | large red onion, 12 ounces (360 g), thinly sliced |
| 12 | 7-inch (17.5 cm) fat-free flour tortillas, warmed according to package directions |
- Combine the ingredients for the marinade in a shallow dish. Place the steak in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours, turning steak twice.
- Start the grill or preheat the broiler.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and grill or broil for 2 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a carving board and let stand for 10 minutes.
- While steak is standing, lightly coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Add the peppers, onion, and garlic, stirring until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Slice the steak very thin across the grain. Arrange the steak slices and pepper-onion mixture on a large heated serving platter, with rolled up warm tortillas alongside.
- Serve immediately with Black Bean and Corn Relish (see recipe reference).
