Here’s how to make the BEST steak fajitas at home in your own kitchen!

Make sure you thinly slice your steak against the grain to get tender and juicy pieces.

Aside from being one of the key flavours in this dish, the acidity in the fresh lime juice tenderizes the meat. Be sure not to skip it!

Whether you want to just add more cumin and smoked paprika for a more flavourful dish or you want to add cayenne pepper, sliced jalapeños, or even sriracha to the steak, feel free to customize this recipe to your family’s spice preferences.

Make sure you keep an eye out after you add the steak to the pan so that you don’t overcook it. Perfectly cooked steak is tender and juicy and our favourite part of this dish.

Here are some common issues you might encounter when making this steak fajitas recipe, and how to fix and prevent them!

Make sure you cut it thinly against the grain and don’t overcook it. Letting it marinate with the spices and lime zest and juice will also help.

This problem can be solved by baking them for a shorter time before adding the steak pieces or cutting them into thicker slices.

Toss the veggies halfway through the initial baking time and rotate the sheet pan halfway through baking.

If you’d prefer more flavour on your steak fajitas, add some extra cumin, smoked paprika or even cayenne pepper and chili flakes to your veggies and meat.
