Buffalo Fajitas

By: Jill O'Brien


Serves 4
A great version of this TexMex favorite. This fajitas recipe is fun, easy, and will be a sure hit with the family. Its super quick to prepare and it will be sure to please.

INGREDIENTS:
FOR FAJITAS:

1 pound Buffalo Skirt or Flank Steak, rinsed and patted dry
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large sweet onion, cut into strips
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
8 flour tortillas, warmed (best warmed over grill fire)
FOR MARINADE:

1 Anaheim chili, roasted and peeled
1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
2 tomatillos, quartered
¼ cup fresh cilantro, packed
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon cardamom
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup fresh lime juice, (2 limes)
2 teaspoons olive oil
*Optional: If you like more of a smoky tomato flavored fajita, add 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to marinade ingredients. I like to do half with and half without. Nice contrast in taste and color!

PREPARATON:

 Mix all ingredients in blender.
Place Buffalo steak and marinade in large zip lock bag. Massage marinade into meat. Refrigerate overnight.
Let meat rest on counter for 2 hours before cooking.
Heat cast iron skillet to medium high heat.
Remove steak from marinade and shake off excess over sink.
Place steak in hot skillet and sear for 2 minutes on each side.
Remove steak and place on cutting board, and cover tightly with foil. Let rest, while sautéing vegetables.
Add olive oil to pan and then vegetables. Sauté vegetables until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
Remove pan from heat.
Slice seared steak into thin slices, against the grain.
Serve with warmed tortillas and pass with desired condiments.
