Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Beef Fajitas on a Sheet Pan.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a sizzling 450°F (230°C).
Step 2
To make cleanup a breeze, line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss together sliced bell peppers and onion with 2 teaspoons of olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of cumin.
Step 4
Make sure every piece of vegetable is well coated in those flavorful spices.
Step 5
Next, spread this vibrant vegetable medley around the edges of your prepared sheet pan, leaving a cozy space in the center for the star of the show: the flank steak.
Step 6
Place the steak right in that center spot and give it a loving brush with the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Step 7
Season it generously with the leftover salt, chili powder, black pepper, and cumin, rubbing the spices into the meat to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
Step 8
Slide the pan into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 12 to 14 minutes.
Step 9
You’ll know it’s ready when the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, and the steak is hot with just a hint of pink in the center.
Step 10
For that perfect medium doneness, aim for an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).
Step 11
Once it’s cooked to perfection, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 12
This resting time is crucial as it allows the juices to redistribute, making every slice juicy and tender.
Step 13
After resting, slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
Step 14
Return those beautiful slices to the sheet pan, add some zesty lime wedges for a burst of freshness, and serve everything alongside warm tortillas.
Step 15
Enjoy this delightful meal that’s not just a feast for the eyes but also a celebration of flavors!.
