It’s no secret that we love meat, especially a juicy and delicious steak. Since our meat delivery box comes with a ton of steak, sometimes it’s fun to change up steak night every once in a while, so we tried out this easy Steak Fajita recipe you can make tonight with just a few simple ingredients.
Easy Steak Fajita Recipe:
Pull out one of your Good Ranchers steaks from your meat subscription box, and let it thaw out and get to room temperature.
Grill and season your Good Ranchers steak as normal, and if you have time while it’s grilling, start getting your fajita setup ready.
Use whatever you’d like for your fajita toppings, but we are big fans of using shredded cheese, guacamole (a homemade guacamole is always a treat if you have time), sour cream, salsa, and pico de gallo. You can even cut up onions and peppers and grill them alongside the meat for extra flavor, or sauté them in a frying pan. Add a side of rice or just get seconds on your delicious grilling creation and consider dinner served.
Once your steak is finished cooking, set it on the cutting board for about 5-6 minutes to let it finish cooking and to let the juices redistribute.
Then you want to cut your steak against the grain, so that you are cutting into the muscle fibers and your steak is more tender and easier to chew. (Trust us, once you get this hang of this grilling hack, it will be life changing for you!)
“By cutting against the grain, we want to cut through the fibers and shorten them, rather than cut in the same direction that they run. This makes it easier to chew through, since a lot of the hard work of breaking up the muscle fibers has already been done for you.
Slicing meat with the grain (or in the same direction as the muscle fibers), however, leaves you with a chewier piece of meat, one that could have been more tender if it was just sliced differently,” according to The Kitchn. Read more about cutting your steak against from the grain.
Your last step is to heat up your tortillas, which can be done on your stovetop, microwave, or even on the grill, however you prefer.
These easy steak fajitas are mostly about the sides and toppings for your fajitas, which makes it an easy dinner idea the whole family will love and allow everyone to customize their own fajitas. Then of course, once you make your delicious steak fajita recipe, be sure to take a photo and tag us in it. We love seeing your grilling and dinner creations.
If you’re having company over for dinner, you can brighten the setup with a few limes for garnish, which can also be used on your fajita dinner. Set all the toppings in different dishes and let everyone walk around and make their own fajita, like a little taco stand.
