My Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas and Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas are some of our family’s favorite recipes, and I’m so excited to add these Steak Fajitas in our rotation. These are so good, I’ve already made them several times!

Steak Fajitas Marinade

Start by preparing the seasoning blend, then divide the seasoning and use half to season the steak and half to season the veggies. The seasoning blend, combined with olive oil, fresh lime juice and a splash of soy sauce create a super charged marinade that flavors the meat while you are slicing the onions and veggies. The soy sauce is the secret ingredient that enhancesthe meaty flavor of the steak, you won’t taste it in thefinished recipe.

Adjust Cooking Time

If your steak is smaller than two pounds or especially thin, adjust the cooking time down and cut the onions and bell peppers thinner. For a thin flank steak, you can also put the veggies back under the broiler while the steak is resting to get a little extra cooking time if needed. Be sure to let the flank steak rest and cut against the grain when serving for the most tender results. Depending on the size of the flank steak, you may also want to cut the steak strips down the middle as well as horizontal.

Would marinating the meat longer give it more flavor or will it break down?

How many servings is this recipe? We have 7 people in our multi-generational family, 3 adults, 3 teenagers and a 9 yo. I’m trying to decide if we need to double it. I think since you said it makes great leftovers, I will go ahead and double it just to be sure we have enough for everyone.

I was about to start these right now. But just realized I don’t have a line. Only a lemon. Could I leave out the lime completely? Or use lemon in the marinade? Or do I need to run to the grocery before starting dinner?

Is there another cut of meat that could be used? someone mentioned sirloin… we live in Bolivia and our cook didn’t understand the translation for flank. I showed her a picture of the cow and the cut, but that didn’t help. just wondering if there’s something else we could substitute that she would understand…

These are the BOMB.. after the first bite my hubby and I looked at each other in disbelief at how delicious. Hubby even commented that, if served in a restaurant, he’d rave about that place. Note that I did add in half a tablespoon of ancho Chile powder to the marinade and let sit for 1 hour in the fridge before cooking. Wonderful recipe and already thinking about when I can make it again.

Has anyone used this same marinade for chicken? I am looking to make steak and chicken fajitas and wanted to use the same marinade for both.

Followed the instructions for a 2lb flank and it came out almost completely raw. Husband had to pan sear it after a long day and I felt like crap for not doing it right. Definitely needs to be cooked longer than 12 minutes. Otherwise good recipe. Not my best, but it was good.

The seasoning was great but after 15 minutes plus broiling it for 2, it was almost raw like another commenter posted. I even used a meat thermometer. What happened?

  Thickness/size of the steak, starting temperature of the steak, variation in oven temperature, how close the steak is to the heating element, any and all of these will effect the cooking time. Using a meat thermometer, like you mentioned, is the most accurate method.
