Cooking for 4 people

Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup cup garlic marinade
  • 1 tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp. cumin

Fajita ingredients

  • 1 green bell pepper seeded, quartered
  • 1 red onion quartered
  • 1 yellow or red bell pepper seeded, quartered
  • 1.5 pounds flank steak
  • 2 portobello mushrooms

Toppings

  • 0.25 cup spicy BBQ sauce
  • sour cream

To serve

1 Food Prep

Place your favorite garlic marinade, cumin and lime juice in a large, resealable plastic bag. Add your fajita ingredients and shake the bag to coat ingredients.

Seal your bag, pressing out any excess air and place the bag in a shallow baking dish. Let your steak marinate in the bag in the refrigerator, turning occasionally, for up to 4 hours.

2 Grill Prep

Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets

Method: Direct-Heat Grilling

Temp: 400°F (Medium Heat)

3 The Cook

  • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

  • When you’re ready to grill, drain your marinade from the bag and discard. Place your steak on the grate and cook until it's browned on both sides, around 5 minutes per side.*

  • Once your steaks are cooking, place your mushrooms, peppers and onion on the grate and cook them for 4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and softened.

  • When ready, remove your steak from the grill and allow it to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. When you’ve removed your vegetables from the grill, slice and keep warm, adding your sliced steak when ready. 

  • Now, using tongs, heat your tortillas quickly over the grill. Fill your warm tortillas with your meat and vegetables and add your favorite toppings as desired.
