Inside round for BBQ.

  • Marinade

  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) tequila

  • 1 lime, zested and juiced

  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced

  • 4 tsp (20 mL) soy sauce

  • 2 tsp (10 mL) ground cumin

  • 1 tsp (5 mL) vegetable oil

  • 1 tsp (5 mL) sugar

  • ½ tsp (2.5 mL) red chili flakes

  • Fajitas

  • 2 Certified Island Beef inside round fast fry steaks (½ lb/225 g each)

  • 1 onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 orange or yellow pepper, thinly sliced

  • 1/8 tsp (0.6 mL) salt

  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil

  • 6 flour tortillas

  • 1 cup (240 mL) prepared guacamole

  • 2 tomatoes, diced

Directions

  • Preheat the grill on the highest setting.
  • Combine all the marinade ingredients in a shallow glass or plastic container. Add the steaks, turning and submerging as much as possible. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Toss together the onion, red pepper, oil and salt to coat. Arrange in a single layer in the middle of a large piece of foil. Fold and crimp the foil to create a packet, then pierce a few holes in the top to allow steam to escape.
  • Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat dry with paper towel, brushing off as much of the garlic as possible. Discard the marinade.
  • Grill the steaks and vegetables for 4 to 5 minutes, turning the steaks half way through, or until the vegetables are tender and the beef is medium doneness. Remove from grill.
  • Allow the steaks to rest for 3 minutes. Thinly slice the steak against the grain.
  • Serve the steak, peppers and onions with the tortillas, guacamole and tomatoes, allowing your guests to assemble their fajitas as desired.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a BBQ, the steak and vegetables can be cooked on the stovetop by sautéing the vegetables in a large skillet over medium-high heat (adding a bit of the steak marinade if desired) until tender, and then searing the steaks for 2 minutes per side.
