    I love using flank steak for Fajitas, it has great flavor and easy to cut. The price is still not bad ether. When I was a kid they use to call Flank Steak poor mans steak. Now it's so popular. Good Eats

    I can normally find a good ribeye cheaper than flank steak. Like you said, it's a popular lean cut.
    Thank you,

    Looks mighty good! I've tried all kinds of fajita meat and have settled on skirt steak. I think its more tender than flank.

    I've pretty much settled on flap steak for fajitas. Skirt steak is really good too (and actually, the only "real" fajita meat). Flank is too lean - great for stir fry, but not for fajitas, IMHO.

    Last summer I cooked fajitas twice in the same week, once with skirt and once with flank steak. The skirt was really tough. The flank steak turned out incredibly fantastic and got rave reviews. I didn't buy the meat at the same place, but they were both around $5 per pound (paid way too much for skirt).

    I have repeated the lime marinade flank steak fajitas with great results.

    I am still willing to try skirt again with two changes. Buy it from the mexican grocery store for $2.50#, and marinade it for 24 hours.

    Lobicho, I only had time to marinate for about 4 hours. I was very suprised how much the of the marinade flavor the meat took on in such a short time. I think its better to marinate it overnight but who ever has that much time???

    Tequila lime marinade is one of our favorites. Great looking fajitas! Wish I was around for one of them.

    I've made the steak fajitas from the BGE cookbook the past 2 weeks and they are amazing. My wife's homemade spicy guac really makes it! She said it is one of the best dinners we have ever made.
