Which steak is best for fajitas?

There are two kinds of steak that are popular when it comes to fajitas.

• One is Flank steak and the other is skirt steak.
• Flank steak is a leaner cut than skirt steak, but they both have amazing flavor and are equally as good for fajitas.
• It is personal preference as to which one you use, but make sure to cut them against the grain in thin strips and don’t over cook them.  If over cooked they may become tough.

Steak Fajitas are a great meal to make so everyone can help themselves and load up on all the yummy fixings they like.

These Fajitas will have you second guessing whether you really need to go out and eat.  The marinade on them is bold and a little spicy, and makes the steak so tender, and seriously the whole meal is done in less than 20 minutes.  You wait longer than that at a restaurant just to order sometimes.
