Beef Fajitas with Chipotle Rice

Beef Fajitas

Sort of. Despite the mirky opening line this is a delicious meal you should really try. I’m hesitant to define a beef fajita by this recipe when my total experience of such cuisine is limited to TGI Friday’s, nonetheless, this both resembles a TGIF fajita in form, and flavour, and was a perfect way to celebrate the fortuitous discovery of some quality beef steak.

Ingredients

  • Tender beef steak
  • Rice
  • Flour tortillas
  • Onions, capsicum, lemon, fresh coriander
  • Cheese
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic, Cummin, Chilli
  • Tabasco sauce

Method

  1. Start the rice and add heaps of Tabasco into the pot (this give you the delicious Chipotle rice)
  2. Marinade your steak in olive oil, cummin, garlic, chilli, fresh coriander and some lemon juice for 30 minutes to an hour
  3. Slice the onions and capsicum length ways into strips
  4. Brown the steak for 3 minutes on each side then remove from pan (allow steak to rest)
  5. Add the onions and capsicum to the steak juices in the pan and fry till cooked
  6. Slice the steak at angle (should be pink inside)
  7. Serve with the Chipotle rice (garnished with grated cheese), vegetables, tortillas and garnish with fresh coriander
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste
