Beef Fajitas With Cilantro Sauce
- 4 tablespoons lime juice, divided
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
- 1 beef top sirloin steak (1-1/2 pounds)
- 1-1/2 cups fat-free plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded
- 2 large green peppers, halved
- 2 large onions, thickly sliced
- 8 flour tortillas (6 inches), warmed
- Shredded lettuce, tomato wedges and sliced ripe olives, optional
- In a shallow dish, combine 3 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons oil, thyme and hot pepper sauce. Add the beef and turn to coat. Cover; refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- For sauce, place the yogurt, cilantro, jalapeno and remaining lime juice in a blender; cover and process until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl; refrigerate until serving. Brush green peppers and onions with remaining oil; set aside.
- Drain and discard marinade. Grill beef, uncovered, over medium-hot heat for 6-7 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135u0b0; medium, 140u0b0; medium-well, 145u0b0). Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, grill green peppers and onions, uncovered, over medium-hot heat for 5 minutes on each side or until crisp-tender. Cut into strips; spoon onto tortillas. Top with sliced beef. Serve with cilantro sauce. Garnish with lettuce, tomatoes and olives if desired. Fold in sides.
