Grilled Flat Iron Steak Fajitas

Grilled Flat Iron Steak Fajitas
"Flat iron steak is a tender cut from the chuck top blade roast. If flat iron steak is unavailable, you can use flank steak, skirt steak, or chuck steak - but you will have to adjust the cooking time to an appropriate time for their thickness. Steak should marinate overnight in the refrigerator. The sauces can all be made the night before as well, cover and refrigerate. Pico De Gallo is Spanish for "rooster's beak". It is traditionally a relish chopped ingredient. The version below resembles what you find in Mexico and makes about 1 1/2 cups. Guacamole makes about 1 cup. Cilantro Cream Sauce makes about 1/2 cup. The Fajita Marinade makes about 2 cups."

Ingredients

Directions


  • Put marinade ingredients and steak in a large zip-lock bag or container with a lid and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.


  • Combine all the ingredients for each sauce; Pico De Gallo, Guacamole & Cilantro Cream Sauce. Do not mash the avocados in the guacamole - leave them as cubes. Cover and put in the refrigerator.


  • To prepare the fajitas, preheat the grill or broiler on high. If you have a cast iron fajita skillet, heat it in the oven for 20 minutes. Place steaks on the grill or on a broiler pan in the oven—grill or broil for 8 minutes. Flip and continue grilling for 6 minutes for a medium rare steak—slice steak across the grain.


  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over high heat. Add onions to the pan and cook for 1 minute, stir constantly. Add peppers to the pan and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly—season with 1 tsp of Southwest Chipotle Seasoning. Remove pan from heat.


  • Place vegetables on the heated Cast Iron Fajita Platter or on a serving plate. Place sliced Flat Iron Steaks on top of the vegetables. Serve with tortillas, Pico de Gallo, Cilantro Cream Sauce, and Guacamole. Top with shredded cheese, if so desired.
