Family Steak Fajita Night
Family southwestern steak fajitas night is something that we like to do every couple of weeks, and it's a meal that we all look forward to enjoying. All of the kids get involved with preparing the meal. My husband takes over meat duties and overall management, and my youngest prepares the guacamole (this is her own recipe). The other two help out making sides and setting the table.
I thought it would be fun to share my husbands fajita recipe. It's something that we all love, and it's pretty easy. So without further adieu, here is how we make fajita meat in our house.
Southwestern Steak Fajitas Recipe
STEAK Fajitas INGREDIENTS
- 1 handful fresh cilantro
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 lbs skirt or flank steak
- 1 ½ tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground pepper
- juice of 2 limes
- 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
How to Make Steak Fajitas
- Grind the cilantro, garlic, and dry ingredients together in the mortar until you have a dry paste. Add the lime juice and soy. Grind until you have a wet paste. Stir in the olive oil. We made our marinade using a mortar and pestle, but you can get good results with a food processor as well.
2. Coat your meat well with the marinade and allow it to rest for a few hours. Use a flank or skirt steak for your meat.
3. When ready, prepare your grill. You want it nice and hot. Grill the steaks for about 3 minutes per side.
4. Allow the meat to rest a few moments, and then slice. Be sure to slice across the grain…this will insure super tender pieces of steak.
5. Serve with grilled onions, peppers, and warm tortillas.
We hope you enjoy the recipe; It really is easy, and it really will blow you away with flavor. We hope that you are inspired by this Southwestern Steak Fajitas Recipe. Happy cooking!

First things first, that looks amazing! I’m a busy mom too, I feel for your pain – this sounds like a great solution. I’ll have to look into this. Anything to spare more time sounds good to me.
OK how absolutely delicious does this sound! I absolutely love the sound of it and I am going to have to try and recreate it for myself I think.
This looks like a really delicious recipe. Fajitas is always a family favorite at our house. The delivery of groceries sounds convenient too!
Oh how I miss Target and having this delivery service would only make it even better. This recipe sounds amazing though – my whole family would love it!
That fajitas recipe looks so good. We love Mexican food over here so I’m going to try your recipe soon for sure. Yum! Yum!
Wow, your meal looks awesome! Not just the fajitas but everything else too! I’ve never heard of Shipt, but I’ll have to look into using it.
Wow, these sound so yummy! Need to try making these soon.
I am ALL FOR grocery delivery! And I totally want to make these fajitas. They sound SO good.
This service sounds like something I would totally appreciate! Considering how busy our days get, I would like to spend my spare time with my family and not running errands (like shopping for groceries).
I need to try Shipt for Target–love shopping from Target but every time I go it takes hours. This is a great time saver.
Those fajitas are so great looking any steak enthusiast would love them. I have to get on board with that shopping service and cut my shopping time.
I seriously hate grocery shopping so I need to consider Shipt. It would save me so much time and hassle each week. Sounds like they have amazing customer service too!
This looks really good! Looks like a new favorite in our house!
These Southwestern Steak Fajitas are making my mouth water. I have not had good fajitas in so long. This is a must try recipe for me!
What a fun way to order!! I love that you got items to make fajitas. Those are always a big hit here too.
Now this is how I need to shop! Those seriously look perfect and I think I know what’s for dinner tomorrow night!
Convenience at its best. I will take advantage of this service, especially now that my mother is sick. It would save me a lot of time ordering her groceries through Shipt than to drive to the store and stand in line at checkout. Thanks for letting me know about this awesome new service!
I’ve never heard of Shipt before, but with 6 kids, it sounds like a pretty awesome thing! I would love to try this recipe for my family sometime. Thanks for sharing.
I just heard about this a couple weeks ago and I’m kind of excited about trying it. It looks like they got a good program going on here. I think I will definitely try it soon.
I wish we had this service here. I love that your shopper communicates with you throughout their shopping. I’ll be making these fajitas very soon. They look scrumptious.
I have never tried Shipt but it sounds awesome! Target is life around here so I think I would also shop there!!
I love Target! I had no idea how great their meat dept. was until recently when I started to eat a lot more meat when my diet changed. They have some great deals too!
Shipt saves my life. We were sick and couldn’t handle going out in public, and Shipt delivered juice, soup, and all of our essentials!
This looks like a great recipe. Fajitas is always a family favorite!! The delivery of groceries sounds amazing too! I would love to try that!
I recently tried out a home delivery service for groceries and LOVED it!! I really do not enjoy grocery shopping as it is, plus I always feel like there is always way too much to get done. Having the grocerys delivered was such a treat. It was so nice to be able to check that off my list!
This would make an amazing dinner. I know for a fact the kids and hubby would love this. I am going to try making it soon.
