Flank steak fajitas made with a beer-lime marinade is tender and so flavorful. Sautéed onions and colorful strips of bell pepper are stuffed into flour tortillas and topped with sour cream, cheese and salsa.
Add the beer, half of the cilantro leaves, lime juice, oil, chipotle peppers, garlic, honey, cumin salt and pepper to a food processor or blender and process until ingredients are finely chopped. Place steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the steak. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, turning the steak occasionally.
Preheat the broiler for 5 minutes.. Remove the flank steak from the marinade and blot dry with a paper towel, brush lightly with olive oil on both sides. Place the steak on a baking sheet and transfer to the upper rack of the oven about 4-inches from the broiler unit. Broil for 6-8 minutes, flip and broil for 4-6 additional minutes for medium rare. If you want the steak to be medium or well done, add an additional 2 to 4 minutes of cook time. Transfer the broiled steak to a cutting board, cover to rest while cooking the vegetables.
In a large skillet heat the oil, add the onion and cook for about 1 minute; add the sliced peppers and cook until tender and crisp. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of the cilantro leaves and toss with the vegetables. Transfer to a serving platter. Thinly slice the flank steak and add to the platter with the vegetables.
Serve with warm tortillas, lime wedges, sour cream, salsa, Cotija cheese and cilantro sprigs.
