Beef Fajitas
Fajitas’ is a fairly recent culinary term in the Tex-Mex kitchen for little strips of skirt steak that have been seared dark brown in a very hot pan.
In restaurants fajitas are often served at the table together with the peppers in a sizzling-hot (cast-iron) pan. I used chuck steak for the first recipe.
See: skirt steak fajitas, peas, carrots, potatoes
Compare also to pork carnitas, which are a bit bigger, but are cooked in much the same way.

- Cut the skirt steak in thin slices.
- Cut those across into short strips.
-
Stir-fry briefly in a very hot pan.
Heat the pan as hot as you can without the oil starting to smoke. The meat should sizzle as soon as it touches the pan. - Serve almost immediately after brief stir-frying.
- Enjoy.

Walmart and Sam's Club both sell frozen beef fajitas that are already fully cooked. All that needs to be done to them is to warm them through, preferably briefly in a searing hot pan to avoid stewing them into shoe leather.
