Submitted by Rita98

"Steak Fajita Marinade This is a fabulous fajita marinade from my sister-in-law. We use flank steaks for fajitas, and this meal has rendered guests speechless in the past. I believe that is the best complement. Enjoy!"

2. We marinate flank steaks for fajitas, then grill the steaks on high to medium-high about 5 minutes on a side along with onions and colorful bell peppers. Slice the meat thinly against the grain, and serve with warmed tortillas and some beans (these beans or these beans), and you have the Best Fajitas Ever.

Very tasty meal. I had never prepared fajita meat using this method and I really liked it. <br/><br/>My take on this recipe is that it had a little too much salt and cumin in it (for my taste). Next time, I'll halve the salt and cumin. I might add some thinly sliced chile peppers to add some heat (perhaps a tiny bit of habanero powder instead). Otherwise, this was spot on and I would do it again any time.<br/><br/>Thanks for the recipe!
