Ingredients
- 1 cup chimi
- easy fajita spice rub
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp fresh ground pepper
- fajitas
- 1 pound thinly sliced sirloin steak, cut in chunks or strips
- 10 ounces colorful bell peppers, cut in strips
- ½ red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 or 2 jalapeño or Serrano peppers (sliced)
- cilantro leaves
- 1 lime, cut in quarters
- 4 cups cooked Jasmine rice, hot
Method
- Toss the spice mix together and rub it into the sliced steak. You can use the meat immediately, or marinate for an hour in the refrigerator...put in a zip lock baggie, or wrap in plastic.
- Heat a grill pan, griddle, or cast iron skillet on high until very hot. Stir fry the steak for a couple of minutes until it gets some nice charring. Do this in 2 batches if your pan is small. Remove to a plate.
- Add enough olive oil to lightly coat the pan and add the onions. Stir fry until they just start to soften, about 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Remove to the same plate with the meat.
- Add the peppers to the pan and stir fry just until they start to soften, stirring almost constantly.
- Add the meat and onions back to the pan and heat everything through. I like them as is, but if you want a little sauce, hit the hot pan with a splash of water and stir well.
- Divide the rice between 4 bowls and top with some of the chimichurri sauce. Spoon the fajitas onto the rice and drizzle with more sauce. Serve garnished with fresh cilantro, and lime wedges.
