Anleitungen
Marinate the Steak
- Remove any tendons from the steak if necessary and cut into thin strips. Mix the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl, add the steak strips and rub in the marinade with your hands. Cover the steak and refrigerate it for 30 minutes or longer.
Fajitas
- Wash the bell peppers, peel the onion and cut both into thin strips. Heat a skillet, fry the steak strips for about 3 minutes over medium-high heat while turning them regularly. Remove them from the skillet and set aside briefly. Add the oil and vegetables to the skillet and sauté over medium-high to high heat for five minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and the spice mix and sauté for another three to five minutes.
Salsa
- Meanwhile wash the tomatoes, cut them in half and dice them finely. Mix them with the juice of half a lime and the spices or your guacamole salt.
Lime Rice
- Microwave the rice according to package directions. Transfer the rice in a bowl and mix it with the lime juice, some freshly chopped cilantro and some salt.
- Fill your bowls by ⅔ with the fajitas, add some rice and serve them with some salsa (and/or other toppings of choice) on top.
