Steak fajitas

Albertson's (and any grocery store really) typically has some really good pre-made fajita seasonings in their spice aisles

If you are in BR, go to La Morenita on Florida and get their fajita beef already marinaded. It's hard to beat.

Marinate a flank steak or skirt steak in this marinade:
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

After an hour or two marinating, sear said piece of meat on a super hot skillet for about a minute on each side. Just long enough to get a good crust. Remove and set aside to rest.

Have all your veggies you want include precut and in the same skillet add 2T of oil. Sauté the veggies, and in the mean time slice your meat thin like fajita steak, across the grain.

After a minute or two of sautéing the veggies, add this seasoning mix to the skillet along with the meat and 2/3 cup of water:
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon crushed chicken bouillon cube
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon cumin

Simmer on low for roughly 15-20 minutes until the water has reduced and serve.

Reasonably priced flank steak is a thing of the past. I had whole foods pull one out of the back before I saw the price. It was $28 for one freaking flank.

Calandros has the pre packaged flat iron steak that is priced somewhat reasonable.

Always wanted to do that. How much does it normally run?
