- For the fajitas: Place the steak, onions, green peppers and red peppers in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Add the oil, lime juice, orange juice, coriander, cumin, cayenne, garlic, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands to coat everything evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight. Fire up your grill and get ready for sizzling, flavor-packed results!
- For the guacamole: In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with the lime juice. Stir in the red onion, cilantro and jalapeno, then season with salt. If not serving immediately, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to help prevent browning. Creamy perfection awaits!
- Prepare an outdoor grill or large 2-burner grill pan for medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.
- If needed, cut the steak into pieces that will fit on your grill. Grill the steak, turning once, until it has good grill marks and is cooked to medium-rare, about 3 to 5 minutes per side depending on thickness. Transfer to a cutting board and loosely cover with foil. Let it rest for juicy tenderness.
- Add the onions and peppers (from the marinade) to the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until they are lightly charred and slightly softened, about 10 minutes. Move to a large platter. The smoky char will elevate every bite!
- Thinly slice the steak against the grain and place it on the platter with the grilled vegetables.
- Serve with warm tortillas, guacamole, pico de gallo and cilantro. Gather your crew, dig in, and savor this vibrant, restaurant-quality feast at home!
