How to Make Barley Over The Border Fajitas
- In a large gallon-sized resealable bag, combine thinly sliced flank steak with red wine vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, onion powder, and salt. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
- Soak mesquite wood chips and wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
- Thread onion pieces and bell pepper strips onto soaked wooden skewers.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Add soaked mesquite chips to the grill to create smoke.
- Remove steak from marinade and place on the preheated grill.
- Grill steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.
- While steak grills, place onion and pepper skewers on the grill. Brush with olive oil.
- Grill onion and pepper skewers, turning frequently, until tender and slightly charred (about 8-10 minutes).
- Remove steak and skewers from grill. Let steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- Slice the rested steak into strips.
- Serve grilled steak, onions, and peppers on warmed tortillas with your favorite salsa.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
