Shawna's Steak Fajitas
Fajitas are a great way to implement Nebraska Star Beef® skirt or flank steak into a meal. Fajitas are a meal that everyone here at the farm can agree on, and they are portable enough if the guys are really busy they can do a "fly by" and grab a quick bite. The Signature® Salt + Pepper is the perfect base seasoning as it gives the beef a great flavor and pairs up nicely with any of the wide variety of hot sauces the guys keep around.

Instructions
Steak
- Season the skirt and/or flank steak with your favorite seasoning. We chose Signature® Salt + Pepper seasoning. Grill until internal temperature reaches 120° F for rare. Rest 5-10 minutes. Bias slice thin across grain just before serving.
Peppers + Onions
- Cook DRY in hot cast iron skillet (sautéing in butter/oil will make sloppy fajitas).
Onion + Cilantro
- Mix together and serve with lime wedges.
Guacamole
- Add prepped ingredients to mixing bowl and mash with potato masher.
Tortillas
- Mix until incorporated, use tortilla press to make 1.5" diameter balls flat and cook on hot griddle until both sides have begun to caramelize.
- Or buy flour tortillas, or corn if you prefer. Warm tortillas in cast iron skillet - still dry - and place in tortilla basked when cooked.
- Serve with a variety of hot sauces.
Shawna's Fajita Assembly
