Flank Steak and Rajas Fajitas
- 1 2 -pound flank steak
- 1 cup pickled jalapeno peppers (including the onions and carrots from the jar or can)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 medium white onion, sliced crosswise 1/2 inch thick, rings kept together
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 4 poblano peppers
- 2 fresh jalapeno peppers
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Flour tortillas, guacamole and pico de gallo, for serving
- Put the steak in a baking dish and toss with the pickled jalapeno mixture; let marinate at room temperature, 1 hour.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high.
- Brush the jalapeno mixture off the steak; season the steak with salt and pepper and grill until charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest.
- Secure each onion slice horizontally with a wooden skewer.
- Brush the onion slices with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill, turning occasionally, until soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the poblanos and fresh jalapenos on the grill and char on all sides, about 8 minutes.
- Set aside until cool enough to handle, then peel off the skins, stem and seed.
- Cut the poblanos and jalapenos into strips.
- Once the onion slices are cool enough to handle, remove the skewers and separate into individual rings.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Thinly slice the steak on the bias, against the grain.
- When the skillet is hot, coat the bottom with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Add the garlic and oregano and saute about 1 minute.
- Add the steak, onion and pepper strips and toss to heat through.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve with tortillas, guacamole and pico de gallo.
