What Is The Best Steak For Fajitas?

Flank Steak or Skirt Steak is typically recommended for Fajitas. They are very flavorful cuts of meat but can be tough. That is why marinating the steak is recommended because that will add even more flavor and make the steak more tender.

How To Make Steak Fajitas More Tender

Steak Fajitas are known for their flavor, and they are very flavorful. However, sometimes the skirt steak or flank steak can be somewhat tough. However, there are a couple of things that you can do to make the steak more tender.

• Marinate The Steak in the Steak Marinade before cooking. The loosens the fibers that can sometimes make the meat tough. This makes the steak more tender and gives it a lot of flavor.
• Cut Against The Grain. When slicing the skirt or flank steak, cut it against the grain to keep the meat tender. Otherwise, if you don’t cut against the grain, the steak can be tough.

Recipe Tips

Marinating and Type of Steak. If you are in a hurry, you could skip marinating the steak, but I don’t recommend it. If you want to skip the marinating, then you may want to use a ribeye steak instead of flank or skirt steak because the ribeye is naturally more tender and will be flavorful without marinating.

Can I Grill The Steak Fajita Roll Ups?

Grill the vegetables first. Then place the vegetables in the center of the steak and roll them up and grill the steak.

Can I Make This Recipe On The Stove?

Yes, it can be done in a cast iron skillet. Make sure that cast iron is smoking hot. Use tongs instead of a fork.

How To Store Leftovers

I did not store leftovers as rolls. After the steak fajita rolls have cooled down completely, I cut the steaks and vegetables in cubes and then store them in an airtight container. They can be stored up to 3 days.

To reheat, I added a bit of vegetable broth and butter to give back the moisture and heated in the oven at 180 C | 356 F. and serve with warm tortillas.

Freeze only uncooked marinated steak in a ziplock bag. Defrost completely overnight in the refrigerator before cooking.
