Citrus-Lime Steak Fajitas bring tender, marinated beef strips seared with sweet onions and crisp bell peppers, finished with a bright splash of lemon at the table.

1

In a shallow dish, combine the lime juice, ground pepper, and cilantro. Add the steak strips to the marinade and refrigerate for two to four hours.
2

Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak strips and cook until done to your preference. Remove the meat and set it aside.
3

Add the remaining oil and the onions to the skillet. Cook over medium-low heat until translucent, then stir in the green peppers and steak.
4

Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the top and stir. When the green bell peppers are just tender, remove the pan from the heat.
5

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the steak fajitas with tortillas and lemon wedges on the side.
