How to Make the Best Skirt Steak Fajitas

1. Marinate the Skirt Steak

• Coat the skirt steak with olive oil, lime juice, and Texas Trail Dust Rub, making sure it’s evenly covered.

• Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).

2. Preheat the Grill

• Heat your grill or griddle to high heat (450-500°F).

• If using a cast-iron skillet, preheat over medium-high heat with a little oil.

3. Sear the Skirt Steak

• Place the steak on the hot grill and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until you get a deep charred crust.

• Cook to medium-rare (130-135°F) or medium (140-145°F) for the best texture.

• Remove from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

4. Cook the Fajita Vegetables

• While the steak rests, toss the sliced bell peppers and onions in olive oil and Texas Trail Dust Rub.

• Cook them in a cast-iron skillet or directly on the Blackstone griddle for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly charred.

5. Slice & Serve

• Slice the skirt steak against the grain into thin strips.

• Serve with the grilled peppers and onions on warm tortillas.

• Garnish with lime wedges, cilantro, and your favorite toppings.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with Mexican rice, refried beans, or street corn for a complete meal.

• Drizzle with homemade salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for extra flavor.

• Serve alongside an ice-cold margarita or cerveza to round out the experience.
