Roasted Garlic Steak Fajitas Food

STEAK FAJITAS

Steps:

• Stir together the sugar, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small mixing bowl to make the dry rub for the steak.
• Put the steak on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Rub both sides generously with the spice rub. Allow the steak to come up to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables.
• Place a grill pan over medium-high heat and allow the pan to heat for 5 minutes.
• Put the bell peppers and onions in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables out over the hot grill pan. Cook, tossing occasionally, until caramelized and softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Put the grilled vegetables on a serving platter and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• To cook the steak, brush the hot grill pan with the vegetable oil. Place the steak on the grill and cook for 3 minutes. Flip the steak over and cook for another 3 minutes. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and allow it to rest for at least 5 minutes.
• Slice the steak into thin strips, against the grain of the meat. Layer the steak over the warm vegetables and sprinkle with the cilantro leaves. Serve with shredded iceberg lettuce, sour cream and warm tortillas.

CUMIN-RUBBED SKIRT STEAK FAJITAS

Steps:

• Light a grill or preheat a cast-iron grill pan over low heat for about 10 minutes. In a small skillet, toast the cumin seeds over moderately high heat until lightly browned and fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Transfer to a mortar to cool; then, using a pestle, coarsely grind. Add the black pepper and garlic and pound to a paste. (Alternatively, using a chef's knife, chop the cumin seeds as fine as you can and put them in a small bowl along with the black pepper. Mince the garlic and add it to the spices.)
• Stir in the olive oil. Rub the cumin oil on the skirt steak and marinate for at least 10 minutes or refrigerate overnight.
• Roast the poblano chiles directly on the grill or over a gas flame, turning often, until blistered all over; do not overcook or the flesh will burn.
• Transfer the chiles to a paper bag and let steam for about 5 minutes.
• Using a small knife, remove the skin, stems, and seeds. Cut the chiles into thin strips.
• In a small bowl, mix the chiles and sour cream. Season with salt.
• Season the skirt steak with salt and grill over a very hot fire or in the grill pan over high heat for about 2 1/2 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Transfer to a carving board to rest for about 5 minutes. Using a very sharp knife, thinly slice the steak lengthwise against the grain.
• Warm the tortillas on the grill for a few seconds until pliable.
• Place the sour cream, onion, tomatoes, and avocado in bowls. Serve alongside the steak and tortillas and let each person assemble his own fajita.
