  • For the marinade: In a freezer bag, add lime juice, olive oil, garlic, ground cumin, fresh jalapeno pepper cut in half lengthwise then seeded and finely chopped, and whole fresh cilantro including stems.
  • Put the steak in the freezer bag.
  • Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
  • To prepare the fajitas: Cook the skirt steak on an outside grill for 3-4 minutes per side on medium heat (depends on thickness).
  • Let the steak rest for 5 minutes.
  • While the steak is resting, place the peppers and onions in a skillet with oil on medium heat and cook for 5-6 minutes until just translucent.
  • You want to still have firmness.
  • I threw in a pinch of salt, pepper and ancho chili powder at the very end before serving.
  • Serve fajitas with tortillas and any desired toppings.
