Beef Fajitas (World Famous)
Modeled after the lime grilled beef fajitas at Lupe's in Houston, these fajitas are best enjoyed with friends, margaritas, and Sol (the beer)
Ingredients
- 1 Skirt Steak
- 5 Limes
- 1 tbsp of chili powder
- 1 tbsp of Paula's house seasoning
- 1 tbsp of Paula's seasoning salt
- 1 bunch of fresh cilantro
- 6 garlic cloves
How To...
1. Tenderize the strip steaks by pounding with a meat tenderizer (or the flat size of a nice)
2. Coat lightly with Paula Dean’s house seasoning and seasoned salt
3. Place meat in a pan, cover with the juice of 5 large limes
4. Chop up 1 cilantro bunch, 6 garlic gloves and mix together. Cover the cilantro and garlic with chili powder. Run the cilantro, garlic, and chili powder over the meat
5. Marinade for 6-9 hours (most likely overnight)
Heat a grill over high heat, preferably using no-lighter fluid and mesquite charcoal.
Grill the fajitas until done, probably 5 minutes on each side. Remove from grill, let sit for 5 minutes
Cut against the grain (normally the opposite of the way you think it would be), then cut in half.
Serve with tortillas, guacamole, and queso.
