Red meat always seems a little tricky in a humble NYC apartment. If you're not grilling, you're probably using a second-best cooking technique, sadly. So I was happy to find a steak recipe that actually recommends using a pan. A little guidance on the marinade didn't hurt either.
The Recipe
1 lb flank steak or skirt steak
1 onion, sliced
2-3 bell peppers
olive oil, salt
Marinade
juice of 1 lime
1 jalapeno, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
Mix the marinade ingredients together, coat the steak and let sit at least an hour. Then heat a skillet over high with oil and sear your meat for a few minutes each side. Let it sit while you cook the vegetables. Then slice the meat and serve with tortillas, etc.
Results
With your choice of peppers, veggies and other fajita fixin's (I liked sprinking some Manchego on mine), it makes a fun group meal. I was a little underwhelmed by the marinade, though - the more you stuff into your tortilla, the less that flavor comes through.
