Recipe: Barbecued steak fajitas
Here’s a quick summer meal that you can cook up on the barbie. I like to marinate the steak and cut up the veggies earlier in the day so it comes together quickly at dinnertime.
Serves 4
Ingredients
500 g rump or sirloin steak
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
1 red onion, cut into thin wedges
1 red capsicum, finely sliced
1 yellow capsicum, finely sliced
8 tortillas
Chipotle Mayo
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp chipotle sauce
A squeeze of lime juice
To serve
Flesh of 2 avocados, sliced
Fresh coriander
Chilli flakes
Lime wedges
- To make the chipotle mayo, combine the ingredients in a small bowl and chill until needed.
- Place the steak in a bowl. Add the oil, cumin, smoked paprika and salt and turn the steak to coat.
- Grill the steak on a hot barbecue for a few minutes on each side, until cooked to your liking. Allow to rest for a few minutes, then carve into thin slices.
- Barbecue the onion and capsicums on the flat griddle for about 10 minutes, until cooked through.
- Just before serving, toast the tortillas on the barbecue for about 1 minute on each side.
- Serve warm, topped with the grilled steak, onion, capsicums and avocado slices. Drizzle with chipotle mayo and garnish with coriander and chilli flakes. Serve lime wedges alongside.
