An easy steak and veggie dinner all made on a sheet pan! Made with beef, bell peppers, and red onions. Serve with a stack of warm tortillas and condiments. Everyone will love it!
Steak Fajitas have always been a favorite dish in our home. I love this recipe because it’s all in one sheet pan and clean up is a breeze. Marinating the vegetables and beef separately before cooking, adds so much flavor to the fajitas. I also have some picky eaters in my household, so the condiment options are great for each person to customize their own plate.
I used flank steak which is super tender. Top sirloin is a less expensive option that is perfect for this recipe. Be sure to not overcook the steak when broiling the meat. The steak is the main ingredient and you want it to be tender.
If you prefer your steak to be cooked whole and then sliced afterwards for serving: Marinate the whole uncut flank steak with the vegetables. Place the steak on one side of the sheet pan and the vegetables on the other, making sure to drip off the marinade. Broil for about 15 minutes, until steak is medium-rare (135°F on a instant-read thermometer). Remove from oven; let steak sit for 10 minutes with foil over it before slicing. Note that thickness of the steak might broil faster or slower than the vegetables. If so, remove the ingredient that is done broiling, transfer it to a serving dish, and cover with foil to keep warm.
