Test Kitchen - Steak Fajitas with Fresh Lime

I found this recipe in Bon Appetit a long time ago and completely forgot I had it. It was pretty easy to make gluten free and FODMAP friendly, while still keeping all of the flavor. I substituted corn tortillas for regular tortillas and omitted the guacamole and salsa for myself (I still made some for my sister). I also went ahead and made the onions so that she could have them and even though I didn't eat any myself, word on the streets is, they were delicious. I chose to broil my meat, but I'm sure it would be just as tasty grilled or done in a pan the way the original recipe suggests.

Steak Fajitas with Fresh Lime
(adapted from here)

Ingredients
  • 1 flank steak, halved
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 4 limes for me)
  • 1 large onion, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced
  • 4 large garlic cloves, pressed (or garlic salt if FODMAP friendly)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Corn or Flour tortillas
  • Optional Toppings:
    • Lettuce
    • Salsa
    • Guacamole
    • Greek Yogurt (or Sour Cream)
    • Mexican Cheese Blend
    • White rice
Directions 
  • Arrange steaks in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish; sprinkle with salt (or garlic salt, if using) and pepper. Combine lime juice, onions, garlic (if using), sriracha and olive oil in medium bowl. Pour mixture over steaks; turn to coat evenly. Let marinate 10 minutes - over night.
  • When ready, place steaks and onion mixture into an oven proof baking dish ~2-3 inches away from the heat source. Broil for 12-18 minutes for medium/medium rare.   Cook steaks 1 minute per side. Add tomatoes and basil. Continue cooking steaks to desired doneness. 
  • Transfer steaks to work surface and let cool for 5 minutes. Cut across the grain at a slight diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick strips. Transfer steak to bowl a cover with a dash more lime juice. Serve with tortillas and toppings of your choice.
