Rub 2Tbs of fajita seasoning onto meat. Allow to sit for 30 minutes to allow seasoning to absorb and meat to come to room temperature. *Save some of the seasoning for the veggies.

Step 3

Heat pan with 2Tbs oil on medium high heat for meat, (medium-low for chicken). Cook 5-6 minutes each side (more if you like well done). Remove steak from pan and allow to sit for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Step 4

Slice onions and peppers. In the skillet that you cooked the beef, add the onions and pepper and saute on medium heat until they start to become tender. Sprinkle with a little more fajita seasoning, salt and black pepper to season the veggies.
