Ingredients

• Sheet Pan Steak Fajitas
• 3 large bell peppers preferably 1 red, 1 orange, 1 yellow, seeded and sliced into 1/2" strips
• 1 large red onion halved and sliced into 1/4" pieces
• 1/4 cup avocado oil
• 2-3 cloves garlic minced or pressed
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• juice of 1/2 lime
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 lb. thinly sliced flank steak or “fajita” steak
• lettuce cups or tortillas
• Guacamole
• 3 avocados peeled and seeded
• 1/4 cup pico de gallo or fresh salsa
• juice of 1 lime
• 1 teaspoon salt
• To Serve
• Fresh salsa
• Limes to serve
• Fresh chopped cilantro
• Fresh chopped red onion
• Radishes

Instructions

1. Prepare all ingredients before cooking: slice peppers, slice steak, peel and seed avocados, chop garlic, etc. Preheat your broiler with oven racks in thirds; place baking sheet on top rack.
2. In a small bowl, stir together avocado oil, garlic, seasonings, and salt. Put peppers and onions in a large bowl and pour half of garlic-seasoning mixture over; toss well to coat. Carefully but quickly remove baking pan and scatter peppers and onions over. Return to oven and cook for 7 minutes, or until beginning to soften and brown.
3. While peppers and onions cook, make guacamole. Combine avocado meat, lime juice, fresh salsa, and salt; mash to desired consistency and season with more salt, if desired.
4. Place sliced steak in the large bowl and pour remaining garlic-seasoning over; toss well to coat. After peppers and onions are cooked, quickly but carefully remove baking pan from oven and use a spatula to make a space between peppers. Place steak in a single layer, being careful not to crowd if possible. Return to oven and cook 4 minutes or until uniformly brown on top and medium rare. Steak will likely show medium-rare temperature on underside; it will not show on top.
5. Remove pan from oven and serve in tortillas or lettuce cups with guacamole, more fresh salsa, and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and/or red onion, if desired.

Recipe Notes

You can marinate your steak ahead of time if you prefer; this will result in an even more flavorful and tender steak. Simply coat your sliced steak in half the garlic-seasoning mixture and chill; marinate for up to 12 hours. Take out of fridge about 30 minutes before cooking.
