Skirt Steak Fajitas with Chimichurri Sauce


This is a very easy weeknight meal.  I actually made the sauce, marinated the meat, and prepped the vegetables the evening before so it was ready to go on the grill as soon as I got home.

Ingredients:
  • Flank Steak
  • Red, Green, Yellow Bell Peppers
  • Sweet Onion
  • Red wine vinegar
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Olive Oil
  • Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • Oregano
  • fresh chopped garlic
  • Salt, Pepper, and Paprika
  • 1 fresh lime
  • Fajita seasoning
  • Tortilla shells

In a food processor combine 1 cup fresh cilantro, 1/4 cup evoo, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, lime juice, 1 cup chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, 2 tablespoons oregano, 2 chopped garlic cloves, and a sprinkle of paprika, salt, and pepper.  Blend until chimichurri sauce is of medium - thick consistency.  Reserve 1/2 cup for fajita topping, but combine the rest of the sauce in a ziplock with flank steak overnight. 
Slice onion and bell peppers, put in large ziploc, and toss with fajita seasoning.


I use a grill skillet to sautee / grill my veggies.  I'll throw the flank steak on once the vegetables are nearly done and cook to medium rare.  Slice against the grain and serve over a tortilla.
