Cooktop Cove: How to make chili lime steak fajitas

By Emily Monaco

Fajitas are a fun, interactive dinner option for the whole family. Cook up the quick marinated hanger steak in the recipe below and serve with grilled veggies, guacamole, salsa, cheese, and sour cream. Everyone at the table can make their own fajita at the table!

Hanger steak can be a bit tough, so be sure to cook it rare or medium rare to keep it as tender as possible. Cooking it over the grill adds a delicious char to the outside, but a grill pan works well in a pinch too. Slice it thinly across the grain before serving, and you'll be able to take full advantage of all of its flavor.

Chili Lime Steak Fajitas

10 minutes

20 minutes

juice of 2 limes

1 tablespoon honey

4 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes

1 pound hanger steak

1 teaspoon fleur de sel

12 corn tortillas

sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese, for serving

In a bowl, combine the lime juice, honey, olive oil, garlic, cilantro and chili flakes. Whisk well until combined.

Add the steak and cover. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Preheat a grill or grill pan over very high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, and allow the excess to drip off. Season on both sides with fleur de sel, then grill 3 minutes per side.

While the steak rests, microwave the corn tortillas for 30 seconds.

Slice the steak into thin strips, cutting against the grain. Serve the steak and tortillas separately, along with the various garnishes.
