Instructions
 

  • Turn the grill to high heat. To season 1 ½ lbs of top sirloin, use 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper, and mesquite seasoning, all separately. Set the grill to direct heat and cook the steak for three to five minutes per side, or until it reaches a temperature of 145°F.
  • Marinate the steak: Place the steak in a resealable bag. In a bowl, mix about 1/2 the packet of fajita seasoning, lime juice, and 1/4 cup olive oil. Pour the marinade over the meat and make sure it completely coats the steak. Marinate in the fridge or cooler for at least 2 hours, up to 24 hours.* I prefer to do this step at home.

  • Use a heat to cook the vegetables in a cast iron pan. Mix them around a lot until they get a little burned and soft, but not mushy. That will depend on your fire, but it should take between 5 and 10 minutes. So the pan doesn't get too full, you might need to do this in two parts.
  • Take the vegetables off the heat when they're done. While you cook the steak, they should stay warm in the cast iron pan for a while. Warm the Totillas and add to warmer.

Notes

The doneness temperatures for medium rare and medium stated above are traditional temperatures used for cooking steak, but are not recommended by the USDA. To maintain food safety, the USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F, as measured using a food thermometer, with a 3-minute rest time before carving.
