    A delicious hearty meal full of flavor

    Ingredients

    • Trim the steak.
    • 1, large flank steak, trimmed of fat as best you can.
    • 2 medium or large onions
    • 3 peppers, red, yellow or golden.
    • zest and juice of a lime
    • salt and pepper
    • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    • Olive oil
    • Sides.
    • Salsa
    • Sour cream
    • Sliced avocado
    • Fresh cilantro
    • Grated cheese

    Directions

    1. At least 1/2 hour before you want to cook the steak, whisk together the olive oil, salt and pepper, lime zest and red pepper flakes.
    2. Pour into a large zip lock bag. Place the steak into the bag with the marinade.
    3. Slice the onions and peppers and set aside.
    4. Heat a griddle pan, if you have one, or a large non stick frying pan if not. Do not put oil on the pan as it will smoke.
    5. When it's really hot, lay the steak down on the pan. Add the onions and peppers and cook on a high heat.
    6. I cooked the steak for about 4 minutes a side, it was still pretty pink in the middle
    7. Remove the steak to a platter, squeeze lime juice all over it, cover with aluminium foil and allow to rest while the onions and peppers continue cooking.
    8. Heat your taco shells in the oven and get your sides ready. I served sour cream, chopped tomatoes, grated cheese, avocado, salsa and lots of fresh cilantro.
    9. Slice the meat and pile into the tacos or wraps to make a fajita and watch them disappear.
