1medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1teaspoonground cumin
1teaspoonsalt
1poundlean flank steak, trimmed of all visible fat
2largesweet red bell peppers, seeded and cut into ½-inch-wide strips
1largegreen bell pepper, seeded and cut into ½-inch-wide strips
1large red onion, sliced
Instructions
Combine the lime juice, beer, oil, garlic, jalapeno, cumin and ½ teaspoon of the salt in a plastic ziplock plastic bag. Add the beef. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag, turning and squeezing to coat the beef. Refrigerate, turning the bag occasionally, at least 2 hours or up to 4 hours.
Spray a grill rack with nonstick spray and preheat the grill. (If you prefer you could cook your fajitas in a grill pan or skillet. It's your call.)
Put the red and green bell peppers and onion in a bowl. Lightly spray the vegetables with nonstick spray and sprinkle with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt; toss to coat. Grill the vegetables over medium heat, turning frequently, until tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
Remove the flank steak from the plastic bag and discard the marinade. Place the steak on the grill rack and grill, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the steak, registers 145°F for medium-rare, about 6 to 10 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and let rest for about 5 minutes.
Thinly slice the flank steak on the diagonal. Toss it with the vegetables.
Serve with your favorite garnishes.
Recipe Notes
While skirt steak is the traditional cut of beef to use when making steak fajitas, flank steak and top sirloin work well too. I think the marinade would work equally well on chicken or shrimp.Click here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.5*SmartPoints (Green plan)5*SmartPoints (Blue plan)5*SmartPoints (Purple plan)5*PointsPlus (Old plan)
