Steak Fajitas With Fresh Guacamole Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the lime juice, ground pepper and cilantro in a shallow dish. Place steak strips into the marinade and refrigerate for two to four hours.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak strips, and fry until cooked to your liking. Remove meat and set aside.
• Add remaining oil and onions to the skillet. Cook over medium low heat, until translucent, stir in green peppers and steak. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the top and stir. When the green bell peppers are just tender remove the pan from the heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the steak fajitas with tortillas and lemon wedges on the side.

Steps:

• For the fajitas: In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, combine the steak, onions, green peppers and red peppers with the oil, lime juice, orange juice, coriander, cumin, cayenne, garlic, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Rub well with your hands to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• For the guacamole: Mash the avocados with the lime juice in a medium bowl. Stir in the red onion, cilantro and jalapeno and season with salt. If not serving right away, press plastic wrap to seal the surface and prevent browning.
• Prepare an outdoor grill or large 2-burner grill pan for medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill grates with oil.
• If necessary, cut the steak into lengths that will fit on your grill. Grill the steak, turning once, until well-marked and cooked to medium-rare, 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Transfer to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil.
• Add the onions and peppers (from the marinade) to the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and slightly softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large platter.
• Thinly slice the steak against the grain and transfer to the platter with the grilled vegetables.
• Serve with the warm tortillas, guacamole, pico de gallo and cilantro.

Steps:

• For the guacamole: In a medium bowl, mash together the avocado, lemon juice and salt with the back of a fork. Set aside.
• For the sandwiches: Split the potato buns. Place a slice of smoked mozzarella on the bottom of each bun. Divide the avocado spread among the bun tops.
• Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Meanwhile, place a piece of plastic wrap over the beef fillets and pound them to about 1/6-inch thick. Sprinkle the fillets evenly with the cumin and salt, then drizzle with the oil. Place the fillets on the hot grill pan and cook until deep brown grill marks form, about 2 minutes. Flip and continue to cook for an additional minute, until just cooked through.
• Transfer the hot fillets to the buns. Top with a few leaves of arugula and cover with the bun tops.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chile powder, and 4 tablespoons olive oil and bring to a light simmer. Cook for 4 minutes. Let cool. Place the steak in a baking dish and pour the seasoned oil over top. Marinate the steak in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Bring the steak to room temperature before grilling.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan on high heat.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Grill the steak for about 7 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Let rest before slicing. Combine the onions and peppers with olive oil, and salt and pepper, to taste. Toss to coat in oil. Grill the onions and peppers for 4 minutes. Set aside.
• Combine the avocado, red onion, tomato, garlic, lemon juice, and juice of 1 lime in a large bowl. Mash the avocado a bit with a fork. Stir in salt, and pepper, to taste. Mix in the sour cream with the remaining juice and zest of limes. Season with salt, to taste.
• To serve: Slice the flank steak in thin slices and place it on a large platter. Serve with peppers and onions, guacamole, and lime-sour cream on the side.

Steps:

• Warm flour or corn tortillas Arrange steaks in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine 2 tablespoons lime juice and next 5 ingredients in medium bowl. Pour onion mixture over steaks; turn to coat evenly. Let marinate 10 minutes.
• Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add steaks with onion mixture. Cook steaks 1 minute per side. Add tomatoes and basil. Continue cooking steaks to desired doneness, turning occasionally, about 3 minutes longer for medium-rare. Sprinkle mixture with 1 tablespoon lime juice. Cook 1 minute longer to blend flavors. Transfer steaks to work surface. Cut across grain on slight diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick strips. Transfer fajitas to bowl and serve with tortillas.

Steps:

• Flatten flank steak slightly with a meat mallet. Rub shichimi togarashi into both sides of steak, wrap the steak in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
• Combine orange juice, soy sauce, lime juice, orange zest, and lime zest together in a resealable plastic bag. Remove flank steak from plastic wrap and place the steak in the resealable plastic bag, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove steak from marinade and pour marinade into a small bowl.
• Cook steak on the preheated grill, basting with the marinade every 5 minutes, until it starts to firm and is seared on the outside and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 8 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 135 degrees F (57 degrees C).
• Cut steak in half lengthwise and cut across the grain into thin slices.
• Whisk cornstarch, chili powder, salt, paprika, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, onion powder, garlic powder, and ground cumin together in a bowl.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and red bell pepper in hot oil until soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Add sliced steak, chili powder mixture, and water to the skillet. Cook until sauce thickens and meat is glossy, 3 to 5 minutes.
