I had never made flank steak fajitas before but I was pumped to do it since I almost never marinate beef. I don't know why, but for some reason this notion excited me. It turned out totally fucking awesome, obviously, so pay close attention. Let's begin:
Toss a large to extra large handful of cilantro (including stems), two quartered limes, five minced cloves of garlic, 1/2 a red onion (diced), chili powder, cumin, and salt & pepper in a food processor. Blend that shit up. "I don't want to eat stems and rinds! What the fuck?" This is a marinade,
dumbass. We are going to soak the meat and then scrape it all off. Anymore stupid questions? No? Good. While the motor is running slowly pour in 1/2c olive oil. This mixture is going to look like garbage but it will work out, trust me. Place the marinade and steak in a
ziploc bag and put it in the fridge for at least 6 hours but
preferably overnight. Turn it over halfway through. "That's what she said!" You never cease to amaze me.
Grill your steak over high heat for about 5 min per side. I like my beef extra red so if you are a pussy you can cook it longer but you might want to lower the heat a little.
Slice that shit against the grain to make long strips. If there is not blood all over your cutting board, you fucked up and cooked it too long.
Slice up some red pepper, green pepper, and red onion. Combine some chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and cayenne with freshly minced garlic and a little olive oil. Make a paste out of it and toss with the peppers and onion. Pan fry until a little soft.
Put all that crap in a tortilla and serve with rice and beans. Eat it.
