Made some delicious fajitas last night and came up with a simple but tasty fajita finishing sauce.

I made my normal fajita marinade and reserved 2 Tablespoons of it.

NMT Steak Fajita Marinade
1/4 cup Oil
1/4 cup Lime Juice
1/4 cup Tequila
1-2 clove Garlic minced
1 1/2 teaspoon Season salt
1 1/2 teaspoon Oregano
1 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Chili powder
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Then I marinaded my flat iron steak and veggies for about 2 hours. Threw the steak on the cast iron and the veggies on the griddle insert. Man, that smoke smelled so good I know the neighbors were hating me.

Meanwhile, I mixed the 2 Tablespoons of the marinade with 1/2 cup of sour cream to make the Fajita Finishing Sauce. It tasted so good I could have eaten it straight.

Then just a quick drizzle over the fajitas.

Yeah, that wasn't half bad.

    I keep forgetting how good Flatiron Steaks are. Never really thought of them for fajitas. Your recipe looks good too. And like the way you utilized the griddle with the grid.

    You're 4 for 4 with me today.

    Thanks. I've got to start 'think'n' again.
