Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the steak cutting them into thinly slices.
2. Marinate the Steak
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice, fajita seasoning, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the steak slices to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let the steak marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
3. Prep the Vegetables
Slice the bell peppers and onion into ½-inch strips. Place them in a separate bowl and toss with the remaining olive oil, a pinch of fajita seasoning, and salt to taste.
4. Arrange and Bake
Spread the vegetables in an even layer on the prepared sheet pan, leaving space for the steak. Add the marinated steak slices to the pan, ensuring they don’t overlap. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, stirring everything halfway through cooking.
5. Rest and Serve
Once the steak is cooked to your desired doneness (135°F for medium-rare), remove the sheet pan from the oven. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve the steak and veggies in warm tortillas with your choice of toppings.
