    I am actually thinking of making steak fajitas tonight.  I was going use a sirloin steak and cook it in a CI skillet, but wonder if I ought to grill it first to rare then slice to cook with the veggies.  Looks great, by the way.

    I'm a big fan of cooking the proteins whole then slicing. It seems to keep the meat more moist and tender. Good luck. Looking forward to it.

    If you have a good butcher, hanger steak is a fantastic choice for fajitas.  The cut is ugly (to some) and irregular but tastes great, so old school butchers would keep them for themselves.  It is a bit more tender and juicy than skirt steak, the traditional fajita meat.

    That is a great looking cook.  Thanks for posting it

    Yeah, I'm a big fan of the flat iron steaks for fajitas and almost anything else for that matter. I cook them and serve family style often. Thanks for the praise.

    Same here. We live in a heavily Hispanic area, relative to our surroundings, and have yet to have anything close to our egged version. We fix them at least every couple weeks for us, usually more frequent. Cheers.

    I did just that.  It came out great.   Posted it a few minutes ago.   My son liked it a lot, he kept sneaking pieces of the steak rare before I mixed it in.  He ate it rare no ketchup.  Maybe I need to cook all his steaks rare from now on.
