Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds hanger steak
  
• 6-8 tortillas warmed
  
• 1 red pepper
  
• 1 green or yellow pepper
  
• 1 medium onion
  
• 3 tbsp olive oil
  
• 1 tbsp lime juice
  
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
  
• 1 tsp ground cumin
  
• pinch cayenne pepper
  
• 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
  
• 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  
• 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions:

1. Put the meat in a bag that can be sealed.
   
2. Put the onion and peppers in a separate, sealable bag.
   
3. In a jar with a screw top or tight fitting cover, combine the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and garlic. Shake to thoroughly mix. Pour one-third of the marinade over the steak, one-third over the vegetables, and save the remaining marinade in the jar for when the steak fajitas are being cooked.
   
4. Place the bags in the refrigerator for up to a day after carefully sealing them.
   
5. Heat a sizable skillet over medium-high heat when you’re ready to cook. Cook the vegetables in the skillet for about 5 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender but still firm.
   
6. Add steak strips to the same skillet after removing the veggies to a platter. Add the vegetables back to the skillet along with the marinade that was set aside once the steak is fully cooked (approximately 7 to 10 minutes).
   
7. Serve with warm tortillas and any extra garnishes of your choosing.
