Ingredients

Fajita Rub

  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin

Bavette Steak Fajitas

  • 4 6 oz. Omaha Steaks Bavette Steaks
  • Fajita rub
  • 2 large colorful bell peppers, thinly sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 4 medium-sized jalapeño peppers
  • 2 limes, sliced in half
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
  • 1/2 cup store-bought salsa, medium or spicy
  • Pinch of kosher salt and ground black pepper
  • 8 soft flour tortillas plus olive oil for brushing grilled tortillas

Instructions

Fajita Rub

  • Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl until well-incorporated.

Bavette Steak Fajitas

  • Preheat grill to 500 degrees F using direct heat. Clean and oil grill grates.
  • Thaw bavette steaks and pat dry with paper towels on all sides. Liberally season with fajita rub and allow to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Grill steaks 5 minutes on one side, flip steaks and continue to grill for another 4 minutes. Remove from grill for medium-rare doneness. (To cook to a higher desired temperature, refer to Omaha Steaks grilling chart.)
  • Allow steaks to rest for 8 minutes.
  • While steaks are resting, place a medium cast iron pan over the heat on the grill. Add olive oil, onions, bell peppers, garlic, and a pinch of kosher salt and ground black pepper. Continuously sauté for 3 minutes, or until bell peppers and onions are fork-tender.
  • Add salsa to onion and bell pepper mixture and sauté for an additional 1 minute, until well-incorporated. Season to taste with kosher salt and ground black pepper, if needed. Remove cast iron pan from grill and set aside.
  • Toss whole jalapeño peppers with grapeseed oil and char over direct heat on all sides, about 90 seconds to 2 minutes on each side.
  • Grill limes over direct heat, flesh side down, about 2 to 3 minutes or until charred. Remove cast iron pan from grill.
  • Slice steak thinly on the bias, fan out and serve in cast-iron pan on top of sizzling veggies, charred jalapeños, and charred limes; serve family-style.
  • Grill flour tortillas for 10 seconds on each side, then brush lightly with olive oil.
