PREP Marinating the flank steak
• 4 large cloves garlic crushed
• 2 jalapeno chiles, seeded and chopped finely
• 1/3 c. fresh squeezed lime juice
• 1/4 c. olive oil
• 11/2 T. chili powder
• 2 tsp. cumin ground
• 1 1/2 tsp. garlic salt
• 1/4 c. fresh cilantro chopped
• 1 1/2-2 lbs. flank steak
Place marinade in a Ziploc bag and mix. Place flank inside the bag, remove air and seal tightly. The flat, tough steak will tenderize in the marinade and take on a rich flavor. Refrigerate the bag for 30 minutes minimum, up to 1 day.
Marinating the vegetables As the steak is marinating, prep the vegetables
• 1 large red pepper - cut the peppers lengthwise, remove seeds and slice into long strips
• 1 large yellow pepper
• 2 jalapeno peppers – cut into super thin strips
• 8-10 scallions, bottoms trimmed - Leave scallions whole, but trim off the white roots.
Remove the flank steak from the marinade and pour all the peppers and onion into the bag. Seal and toss to coat with marinade. Let sit for 5 min before pouring peppers into a grill basket
Prepping the tortillas Wrap the tortillas in a heavy aluminum foil
READY Preheat gas grill to high. Charcoal high is 400 with hand held at 4" for 4 second.
Oil grates just before placing meat on grates.
LET'S GRILL!
• Place the grill basket with vegetables over the high heat. Grill until tender and charred (~12 min.).
• Place the flank steak directly on the grill turning once or twice until medium-rare and slightly charred (It takes 6 minutes/side on my grill).
• On the flip of the steak with 6 minutes to go, place the tortillas wrap on the grates to warm.
• Pull the meat, vegetables and tortillas when done (12th minute) and allow the meat to rest on a cutting board for 2 minutes.
• Slice the flank thinly across the grain to add tenderness.
Serve the fajitas by letting everyone make his own, heap the tortillas with meat, cheese, sour cream, pico de gallo, and guacamole.
