Easy Sheet Pan Steak Fajitas
Recipe: Equipment
Recipe: Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 3 bell peppers, thinly sliced (I like using green, red and yellow)
- 8-10 ounces flank steak, ribeye steak, or sirloin steak
- juice of one lime
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon mild chili powder
- tortillas, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, avocado for serving (as desired)
Recipe: Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Drizzle the olive oil on a large sheet pan.
- Add the sliced onions, sliced bell peppers, and thinly sliced steak to the sheet pan, along with the taco seasoning, paprika, chili powder, and lime juice.
- Using your hands or a pair of tongs, toss everything together well until the meat and veggies are well coated in the seasonings and the oil.
- Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10-12 minutes, or until the veggies are becoming soft and the steak has browned on the outside. Be careful of over-cooking the steak – test a piece after 10 minutes to be sure it's cooked to your liking.
- Serve in tortillas with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream and avocado, as desired (use the time while the fajita filling is baking to prep these ingredients).

Super excited to try this! I just did chicken fajitas the other night and it was so many dishes. This method looks wonderful!
Can’t wait to try this one, though I’ll be cutting the ingredients in half (just cooking for 2) I LOVE sheet pan recipes, line the pan with foil and NO MESS TO CLEAN UP! Thanks for another winning recipe, Chrissie!
So glad! I hope you love it!
Such a quick and easy meal! This sheet pan meal takes the win!
This is definitely my kind of lunch! It’s one sheet pan meal, so I love this recipe even more!
I think my family will thank you for this recipe! So perfect for our movie nights!
Thanks so much! Enjoy! 🙂
Perfect weeknight dinner! So easy and delicious!

These look so perfect! Great for weeknights or even game days!!
Thanks! 🙂
My family really enjoyed this, and I liked how fast and easy it is to prepare. Thanks for a keeper!
So glad everyone enjoyed it! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment! 🙂
I love steak fajitas! There’s nothing like the sound of fajitas when they’re ready. Can’t wait to try this recipe!
I hope you love it! 🙂
The easiest and the healthiest dinner ever! My kind of dinner!
Thanks!Enjoy!
My family would really LOVE this!! It looks incredibly delicious!
Thank you!
I’ve been wanting to try a steak sheet pan dinner. You make it look so easy!
Thanks so much! I hope you give it a try!
Love these! Can’t wait to try them!
I hope you enjoy them!
So do you cook the steak at all before putting it all on thesheet to cook? Thanks!
No, that’s not necessary 🙂
Curious is you ever tried with Flank steak?
Yes! Flank steak works well.
Made this and my family loved it! Thanks so much 🙂
You’re welcome! My family loves it too!🙂
Does the steak come out tender or tough?? I would think baking it may make it really tough..
This looks delicious!
It should be nice and tender 🙂 Enjoy!
Making this tonight but would like to add some chicken- any different directions?
I have a separate recipe for chicken fajitas on a sheet pan. You can check it out here: https://thebusybaker.ca/oven-chicken-fajitas-with-dairy-free/
I have made them three times and absolutely love the results, The best is the leftovers the next day. My son loves them when he comes for lunch. Kudos to this recipe.
So glad you loved it! 🙂
With 3 kids and a husband, when everyone likes a meal it becomes 5 star – and this does not happen often! It was delicious, easy, and it actually took the time you said it was going to take. Much appreciated!
So glad you loved it! 🙂
We thought this was a good start to a recipe. We’ve made it twice. The first was exactly as stated. I checked the pan at ten minutes, like suggested, and the veggies where still super crisp but the meat was cooked well. We made it a second time didn’t slice the steak until after we pulled it out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. We also subbed homemade taco seasoning. Loved it this way.
Glad you liked the recipe!
Made these last night and they were delicious and so easy! Definitely on the menu again. The only thing I added was 1/2 tsp of cumin, other than that just followed the easy recipe.
So glad you liked them! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! 🙂
Can you use “top round beef for stir fry” for this recipe or will it come out too dry? Thank you!
Yes, that should work just fine. Just be sure not to overcook it 🙂
I am never making fajitas on the stovetop again. So easy, so tasty! Thank you for this recipe!!
You’re welcome Jeanne!!
Made this exactly as written (sirloin). It was so easy, fast, and delicious….thanks for a great recipe!!
You’re welcome Kathy!!
Just discovered this recipe and can’t wait to try! Do you think you could you do this with frozen peppers? I have a bag of frozen chopped peppers from Trader Joe’s and wondered if they might work. Thanks for any advice!
Yes it should work, although you run the risk of the peppers being a little softer than they should be (frozen veggies go soft so much faster than fresh ones). But the flavour will be great!
OMG! What a recipe. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks for such a unique and amazing recipe.
Thanks so much Sophia! I hope you give it a try!
This was very good! I marinated the beef in the taco spices for about 1 hour before mixing in the peppers and onions bthen cooking. I will be making this again, easy to make and delicious!
I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback!
So good and way easier than doing it all on the skillet! Highly recommend! I left mine in for about 5 mins extra and everything was perfectly cooked. Excellent leftovers too. I’ll absolutely be making this again, thank you for sharing and making dinner a bit easier 😊
I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback!
