Tender strips of seasoned fajita flank steak with onion and bell peppers, cooked to perfection.
What I love about this recipe is that it is so easily used in a number of different ways. Of course you can use this in a wrap as a typical fajita, but you can also serve it with tossed lettuce and extras as a fajita salad. Or dice up the meat and add it, along with pepper and onion to a baked potato…Fajita stuffed baked potato. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.
To Make This Fajita Flank Steak Recipe You Will Need:
- beef broth
- tomato paste
- coconut aminos
- fish sauce
- cumin
- chili powder
- chipotle chile
- ground black pepper
- sea salt
- beef flank steak
- avocado oil
- bell pepper (any color, I used green)
- onion
- knife
- Instant Pot
To begin, you’ll cut your seasoned flank steak into two or three pieces, enough that you can fit them one at a time in the bottom of your Instant Pot to sear them. Heat the oil and sear all the pieces on both sides.
Then you mix all of the other ingredients, minus the pepper and onion, together into a rich, seasoned sauce.
You can use your favorite color of bell pepper. I used a green one this time around.
Layer everything together in the Instant Pot and let it do its thing. In no time, you’ll have tender steak that is perfectly cooked. Cut the steak into strips, across the grain of the meat.
Enjoy the steak any way you like!
