These Sheet Pan Steak Fajitas are so delicious and exceptionally easy to make! Tender seasoned flank steak with colorful onions and bell peppers all cooked together on just one sheet pan. This dinner is truly restaurant quality and you can have it on the table in about 30 minutes. It’s perfect for busy week nights but special enough to serve to company. Everyone is going to love these out-of-this-world steak fajitas! Serve them in a soft warm tortilla, corn or flour depending on your preference, with fresh avocados and sour cream. Yum!
My Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas and Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas are some of our family’s favorite recipes, and I’m so excited to add these Steak Fajitas in our rotation. These are so good, I’ve already made them several times!
Start by preparing the seasoning blend, then divide the seasoning and use half to season the steak and half to season the veggies. The seasoning blend, combined with olive oil, fresh lime juice and a splash of soy sauce create a super charged marinade that flavors the meat while you are slicing the onions and veggies. The soy sauce is the secret ingredient that enhances the meaty flavor of the steak, you won’t taste it in the finished recipe.
If your steak is smaller than two pounds or especially thin, adjust the cooking time down and cut the onions and bell peppers thinner. For a thin flank steak, you can also put the veggies back under the broiler while the steak is resting to get a little extra cooking time if needed. Be sure to let the flank steak rest and cut against the grain when serving for the most tender results. Depending on the size of the flank steak, you may also want to cut the steak strips down the middle as well as horizontal.

These Steak Fajitas make great leftovers too! I store the steak and veggies together in the fridge, then reheat on the stove top over low heat.

January 15, 2019 at 2:46 pmI was about to start these right now. But just realized I don’t have a line. Only a lemon. Could I leave out the lime completely? Or use lemon in the marinade? Or do I need to run to the grocery before starting dinner?
