Broiled Steak Fajitas Recipe

Prep: 30 min. + marinating Broil: 10 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

30 10 40

Ingredients

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons minced fresh oregano or 2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 pounds beef top sirloin steak
2 large onions, sliced
1 large green pepper, cut into strips
1 large sweet red pepper, cut into strips
12 flour tortillas (10 inches), warmed
Optional toppings: picante sauce, shredded cheese, guacamole and sour cream

Directions

In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup oil, vinegar, oregano, sugar, chili powder, salt, garlic powder and pepper. Pour 1/2 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the beef; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
Drain steak and discard marinade. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°), basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute onions and peppers in oil until tender. Serve on tortillas with beef and toppings. Yield: 6 servings.
