Chimichurri Steak Fajitas

  1. See my TastyKitchen recipe box for my Chimichurri Sauce/Marinade recipe.
  2. Pour the chimichurri sauce over the flank steak and let it marinate in the refrigerator for an hour or two.
  3. Remove the steak from the refrigerator a half an hour before you are ready to grill and bring it up to room temperature.
  4. Preheat a cast iron pan over medium/medium-high and add the tablespoon of bacon fat or olive oil.
  5. Once hot add in the sliced onion.
  6. Leave for a few minutes so it has a chance to caramelize and darken.
  7. Stir only a few times until the onions are soft, golden and to your liking.
  8. Remove the onions from the pan and add in the sliced peppers.
  9. Like the onions, only stir a few times so the peppers have a chance to char a bit.
  10. Add a dash of salt.
  11. Remove once the peppers are how you like them.
  12. Start toasting the corn tortillas over medium heat (you can use the the same pan) for about a minute or so on each side.
  13. Preheat your grill to 400 F. Place the marinated flank steak on the hottest part of your grill and cook it for about 7-8 minutes per side, depending on the size of your flank steak and how you like your steak cooked.
  14. Remove it from the grill and let it rest for at least 5-7 minutes under a foil tent.
  15. Once rested, slice the flank steak thinly on a slight angle going against the grain of the steak.
  16. Serve the sliced steak on a toasted corn tortilla with the charred peppers and onions and any other toppings you may like.
  17. Optional toppings: torn fresh cilantro, sour cream, sliced avocado, lime wedges and your favorite hot sauce.
  18. Enjoy!
