Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1½ – 2 pounds Flank Steak, Skirt Steak, or Flat Iron cut into ½ inch thin strips against the grain. You can also use New York strip steak cut into thin strips.
• 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil or Avocado Oil – used for grilling
• 1 Tablespoons Blackstone Tequila Lime Seasoning, or 1 Tablespoon taco seasoning. You can purchase the Blackstone seasonings at Walmart or on-line at Amazon.
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder – optional
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 1 package store-bought Frontera Fajita Classic Skillet Sauce with Chipotle & Lime
• 1 Bell Pepper, sliced – Can use Red, Green, Yellow, or Orange
• 1 Large White Onion-cut in half, and sliced
• 12 Taco Size, Flour Tortillas
• 2 Cups Grated Cheddar Cheese – or Mexican blend cheese
• Sour Cream, Guacamole, Pico, lime wedges, and Fresh Cilantro, or other favorite toppings.

Choosing the perfect Fajita Meat

There are several great options when it comes to selecting the right cut of beef for this Steak Fajita Recipe. So let’s talk meat!

• Skirt Steak – has more fat, making it taste even richer and juicer than Flank Steak. (Fat is flavor baby! Remember that!) It also has more connective tissue, which makes it a tougher cut of meat than Flank Steak.
• Flank Steak – is thicker, and wider than Skirt Steak. It’s also easier to find in stores. It is a bit more tender than Skirt steak.
• Flat Iron Steak – is juicy, well-marbled, and it has a tender texture. Its exceptional marbling contributes to its rich, buttery flavor.

How To Prepare Beef for Blackstone Steak Fajitas

I chose a beautiful Flank Steak. Cut your beef, against the grain, into ½-inch thin strips with a sharp carving knife.

Season beef strips with Tequila Lime Seasoning from Blackstone, or you can use a prepared Taco Seasoning packet. Toss to coat. Add sliced bell peppers and onions.

TIP: If I’m preparing this recipe at a camp out, I use disposable metal casserole size pans. Then I can just toss them and not worry about clean-up! Which is always nice when camping.

How To Make Fajita Marinade

This marinade comes together quickly thanks to the use of a store-bought marinade, there’s no shame in using prepared products…especially when camping! Adding a few additional spices creates a flavor masterpiece.

In a medium size bowl combine 1 package Frontera Fajita Sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional). Salt and Pepper to taste. About ½ teaspoon each.

Using a whisk mix ingredients until well combined. Pour over thinly sliced Fajita meat of choice, onions, and bell peppers. Toss to coat.

Cover meat mixture with foil, or plastic wrap, and chill for 4–6 hours, until ready to cook fajitas. It’s important to marinade the meat to tenderize it. Please don’t skip or hurry this step!

Cooking Steak Fajitas on the Griddle

Preheat one-side of your Blackstone Grill to medium-high heat. The other side of the griddle, preheat to medium heat. This will give you two cooking areas and better temperature control when cooking on a flat top grill.

Drizzle 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil, or your personal favorite oil, over the top of the griddle. Using a large spatula, spread a thin layer of oil all over the top of the griddle.

On the side of the griddle that is preheated to medium-high heat, place marinaded flank steak with peppers and onions in a single layer. Quickly sear one side and then flip to sear the other.

Cook the meat until brown on both sides. The onions and peppers should be slightly translucent. Turn the heat off and cover the Fajitas on top of the griddle until ready to serve.

TIP: The Grill Top will hold heat for a long time. Be sure to keep an eye on the meat during, and AFTER cooking.

Warming Flour Tortillas on the Blackstone

Warm tortillas on the side of the griddle that is preheated to medium.

Place the tortillas down on hot grill. Watch for bubbles to begin to form. Using tongs, flip the tortillas over and warm the other side.

Be careful not to overcook the tortillas. You can place a little oil on the griddle if you like them slightly crispy rather than soft. I like a little golden crunch on mine.

Finishing Blackstone Fajitas

Fill each tortilla with grilled steak Fajita mix, cheese, guacamole and any other toppings your taste buds favor! I like to squeeze a little lime juice on top of mine. It takes this delicious meal to the next level. Who doesn’t want to level up? Most of the time I just pray I can “get up” without too much crackling!

The savory marinated steak, perfectly charred vegetables, and delightful toppings come together to create a dish that’s not only visually appealing but also incredibly flavorful.

You’ll notice mine are on our fine Camping China! This is such a great dish whether you are camping or dinning at home. I have to admit though…there’s nothing that beats the view of a forest backdrop when you’re devouring these fajitas.

Questions and Answers about Steak Fajitas on the Griddle

• What type of steak is best for Fajitas? Skirt steak is the traditional cut of meat used for Fajitas. However, it’s become a little pricey the last few years making Flank steak more desirable.
• How do you make Flank steak tender for Fajitas? The acid in marinade is crucial in breaking down the protein and muscle in the meat. So it’s always important to marinate the meat for at least 4 hours if possible.
• How long should I cook my steak fajitas on the Blackstone? For rare it’s about 2 minutes. Medium is 3–4 minutes. Well done would be 5–6 minutes. It will depend on how high you have your flame set, but as a general rule the above listed temps should give you the results you want.
• How do you cut skirt steak or flank steak, so it isn’t chewy? Always cut against the grain! This is why I suggest cutting the steak in thin strips before marinating, and always cut against the grain.
• Can I reheat the leftovers? Yes! Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 5 days. Reheat in a skillet, or the microwave, until warm.
