Flank Steak For Fajitas
- 1 juice orange
- 2 juice limes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves roughly chopped
- 3 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 pounds flank steak
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 yellow onion thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- lime wedges optional
- With a small, sharp paring knife make small cuts, at a 45u0b0 angle, over the surface of the steak on both sides.
- Combine the orange juice, lime juice, 1/4 cup of olive oil, garlic, chipotle peppers, cumin and salt in the bowl of a food processor or blender; puree until smooth. Place the steak in a large, resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Press out the air, seal the bag and marinate at room temperature for 2 hours.
- Prepare the coals on the grill until they are glowing red with a white ash around them. Drain the marinade from the steak, place 4 inches over the coals and sear quickly, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Move the steak away from the direct heat, cover the grill and continue to cook until the internal temperature reaches 135u0b0 F, about 7 to 10 minutes longer. Remove the steak from the grill and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- While the steak is resting, toss the peppers and onion with the tablespoon of olive oil and place in a grill basket. Grill over the live coals, stirring frequently, just until they become limp and are beginning to brown slightly.
- Thinly slice the steak against the grain on a diagonal, and serve with the vegetables, optional lime slices, refried beans, sour cream, guacamole and pico de gallo.
