I had some sirloin that I had to use up and couldn’t find a recipe that I liked, so I made one up! I didn’t have any tortillas to make traditional fajitas so I just put them on a stick! I use the fajita marinade for lots of different recipes with any kind of meat, including shrimp and fish.
Ingredients
Marinade
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ lime, zested and juiced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
- 1 ½ pounds beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch cubes
- ½ onion, cut into 1-inch cubes
- skewers
Directions
Step 1
Whisk olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, cumin, red pepper flakes, and chipotle pepper together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add sirloin and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Step 2
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 3
Remove sirloin from marinade and discard marinade. Thread sirloin, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion onto skewers.
Step 4
Cook on the preheated grill until sirloin is browned and vegetables are tender, about 4 minutes per side.
