How to Make Beef Fajita Marinade Super Easy
- Trim excess fat from 1 lb beef sirloin steak.
- Lightly pound the steak to a uniform thickness of about 1/4 inch using a meat mallet.
- In a gallon-size zipper bag, combine 1/2 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add the steak to the bag, ensuring it's fully coated in the marinade.
- Seal the bag tightly, remove excess air, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
- Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to reach your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your desired internal temperature.
- Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain. Serve immediately with your favorite fajita toppings.
