Grilled Tajín-Crusted Steak Fajitas
Course: FoodServings
4-6
servingsIngredients
- Steak & Veggies
1 X 1 ½-inch thick NY Strip (striploin) steak
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon Tajin
1 medium red onion, sliced into half-moons
1 red bell pepper, julienned
1 yellow bell pepper, julienned
1 orange bell pepper, julienned
2 – 3 jalapeno peppers
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
- Tajín-Spiked Sour Cream
½ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon Tajin
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice
Pinch of sea salt
Directions
- When ready to cook, preheat a grill over medium-high heat.
- Massage the steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of Tajn, making sure that the beef is completely coated in mixture. Place the steak on the grill and cook for 4- 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature of the beef reaches 135 degrees F for a medium-done steak (cook longer if you prefer your steak more well done). Transfer to a board to rest for at least 5 minutes before carving.
- Meanwhile, toss your red onion, sliced bell peppers, and jalapeno with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper. Grill until charred on all sides, about 4 – 5 minutes.
- Next, make the Tajín-Spiked Sour Cream. Combine sour cream, lime, Tajin, and a small pinch of sea salt, and mix well. Done. Set aside.
- When the steak has rested, slice into very thin strips. Build your fajita board with your beautifully grilled steak and veggies, spiked-sour cream, avocado, lime, and flour tortillas and serve immediately.
