You can make restaurant-style steak fajitas at home with this easy sheet pan recipe. It uses a zesty marinade and cooks everything together for minimal cleanup, making it a perfect quick weeknight steak dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs skirt steak or sirloin steak, sliced against the grain
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Tortillas, for serving
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, avocado

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the steak evenly.
  3. In a separate large bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers and onion with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the lime juice.
  4. Spread the seasoned vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Place the seasoned steak strips among the vegetables on the baking sheet. Try not to overlap the steak too much so it sears instead of steams.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the steak reaches your desired doneness and the vegetables are tender-crisp. For crispier edges, you can switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  7. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Squeeze a little extra fresh lime juice over everything if you like.
  8. Serve the steak and vegetables immediately with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator before baking.
  • If you prefer a slow cooker steak fajita recipe, you can cook the steak, peppers, and onions on low for 4 hours before serving.
  • Skirt steak is traditional, but sirloin steak works well for this easy sheet pan method.
