MARINADE:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
- 2 cloves garlic , crushed
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ¾ teaspoon red chilli flakes (adjust to your preference of spice)
- ½ teaspoon ground Cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound (500 g) steak (rump, skirt or flank steak)
FAJITAS:
- 3 bell peppers (capsicums) of different colours: red, yellow and green, deseeded and sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 avocado sliced
OPTIONAL SERVING SUGGESTION:
- flour tortillas (optional)
- Lettuce leaves for low carb option
- Extra cilantro leaves to garnish
- Sour cream (optional) to serve
Whisk marinade ingredients together to combine. Pour out half of the marinade into a shallow dish to marinade the steak for 30 minutes, if time allows. Alternatively, refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minute prior to cooking.*Refrigerate the reserved untouched marinade to use later*
ASSEMBLE:
To serve steak, slice against the grain into thin strips. Pack into warmed tortillas, extra cilantro leaves, sour cream, sliced avocado (or your desired fillings), and drizzle over the remaining reserved untouched marinade.
*Don't have time to marinade? Don't worry! The marinade has so much flavour in it already, you can let it sit for 5-10 minutes at room temperature while preparing all of your other ingredients!
