Easy Weeknight Steak Fajitas (20-Minute Recipe)

Looking for a fast, flavour-packed dinner that beats takeout? These easy steak fajitas come together in just 20 minutes using simple ingredients and bold seasoning. Perfect for busy weeknights when you want something quick, hot, and seriously satisfying.

Ingredients

  • 3 striploin steaks, thinly sliced
  • 2 jalapeños, thinly sliced
  • 2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
  • 1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp Motley Que Brisket Fixx seasoning
  • 2 tsp Motley Que Garlic Butter Grillin’ Oil
  • Medium tortilla wraps
  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
  • Chipotle sauce (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Heat the Pan
    Preheat a cast iron skillet over high heat until it’s ripping hot.
  2. Prep the Veggies
    Thinly slice the peppers and onion, and mince the garlic.
  3. Sear the Vegetables
    Add 1 tsp Garlic Butter Grillin’ Oil to the skillet. Toss in the peppers, onion, jalapeños, and garlic. Sear quickly until slightly charred but still crisp. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. Cook the Steak
    Add the remaining Garlic Butter Grillin’ Oil to the skillet. Lay the steak strips in a single layer—don’t overcrowd. Sear for 2 minutes, flip, and cook for another 1 minute. Season with Brisket Fixx.
  5. Warm the Tortillas
    Heat tortillas on a grill or pan until soft and lightly charred.
  6. Assemble the Fajitas
    Load tortillas with steak and veggies. Top with chipotle sauce and fresh cilantro.

Tips for Next-Level Fajitas

  • Add cheese: Shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Tex-Mex blend melts perfectly into the hot filling
  • Go creamy: Sliced avocado or guacamole adds richness and balances the heat
  • Keep the heat high: That sizzle = flavour. Don’t be shy
  • Don’t overcrowd: Cook in batches if needed so you get a proper sear
  • Slice thin: Faster cook, better texture, no chewy bites
  • Make it yours: Hit it with extra lime, hot sauce, or sour cream if that’s your move
