Cover the bowl and place the steak in the refrigerator and allow to marinate for at least 60 minutes. Best when marinated for 4 hours+.

- Saute peppers and onion. Then add 2-3 sliced bell peppers and 1/2 onion to the pan and cook until sizzling hot, about 3 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Slice the steak if you haven't yet (against the grain) and add back to the pan.
- Assemble the fajitas. Serve in tortillas, lettuce cups or on top of a salad or rice bowl. Add desired toppings. Serve while warm.
