A perfect Fajita Steak Marinade makes all the difference and I’ve got you covered with this recipe. Simple enough to make the kids can help and I’ll share my tips to grilling a perfect cut of beef.
In a bowl combine ingredients for marinade and stir to combine. Pour Marinade over 1 ½ lbs - 2 lbs of Flank Steak.
Marinate for up to 4 hours or as little as 1 hour.
Grilling
Preheat a propane BBQ Grill to 450 Degrees. This can take up to 15 minutes to reach desired temperature. There is no need to add additional oil to the BBQ Racks. Oil only causes smoke. The marinade has plenty of oil, so do yourself a favor and don’t add more.
Place steak over center of heat. You will hear a nice sizzle. I love that sound. Now close the lid and allow the steak to cook for 3-4 minutes.
Flip the steak over and cook an additional 3-4 minutes to reach a temperature between 135-145. This is Medium Rare to Medium. Cook additional time if you wish your beef to be cooked longer.
Allow steak to rest for 3-5 minutes before Slicing
Slice across the grain
Air Fryer
Preheat Air Fryer to 400 Degrees
Line Air Fryer with Parchment Paper or spray with Avocado Spray
Remove Steak from refrigerator at least 30 minutes prior to cooking and allow to come to room temperature.
Place Steak in preheated Air Fryer and cook for 4-6 minutes per side. Until desired temperature is reached.
*Each air fryer heats differently. It's not uncommon to vary from time suggested.
Notes
Pan Searing:Heat stovetop and pan over Medium/High Heat. When the pan is hot, place the steak in the pan and you will hear the sizzle. You will only need a few minutes per side to reach an internal temperature of 135-145 degrees. Remember to test using a thermometer and allow steak to rest for 3-5 minutes before cutting.Broiling:Preheat Oven to 500 degrees. Move rack to the 2nd notch from the top. This will give you a little wiggle room so you don’t burn the steak. Allow steak to broil for 3-5 minutes per side and flip over. Cook and additional 3-5 minutes under the desired temperature is reached. Always allow a 3-5 minute rest before cutting.How to Cut Steak:Slice Flank Steak against the grain. This helps to break up the fibrous tissue for a perfect slice of steak. If serving on a salad chop steak into bite-size pieces.When Grilling the weather will play a factor. Wind can cause longer grilling times. Always stay close when grilling and monitor food.
