Fajitas on the EGG - 1st Time

EggerFromIowa · May 2011

Decided to egg some skirt steak for fajitas last night.

First time trying this out. Before checking for recipes, I took the steak out the night before, rubbed fajita mix (McCormick), rubbed it on both sides, with a little Worcestershire sauce, wrapped in plastic , placed in zip lock bag and then placed in the fridge.

Then I read the forum the next day. Saw where many marinated their steaks. At that point I was nervous that I may have done a bad thing.

Decided to go ahead with the plan, got the egg up to 400 degrees.

Started the cook. 4 minutes, then flip, 3 minutes then flip, 3 minutes then flip, 3 minutes taken off.

Let it rest with tented aluminum foil for about 5 - 8 minutes. Proceeded to slice across the grain. Done to perfection, tasted even better. Thought it turned out very well, very tender and no complaints.

Thanks. We're a family of 5, and there wasn't much left. I'm sure when the kids get older, I'll be cooking 2 of them. The steaks, not the kids. :laugh:

Fajitas on the Egg are one of my all time favorite meals and we make them often.

Yours look great, Craig. I especially like your choice of veggies. I bet you make a bunch of these this summer, fajitas rock on warm summer evenings with a cool adult beverage!

While I have several very good fajita marinades that I like, I have used the McCormicks in the past and it is a good prepackaged product.

Here's my favorite recipe for a steak fajita marinade: http://www.nibblemethis.com/2010/04/steak-fajitas.html

Thanks Chris. I'll definitely be trying more this summer. I will have to marinade the next one, gotta try new ways for the egg.

Love your blog BTW. Looks like you know what you are doing.

Thanks for posting the recipe/technique, added to the list. That looks much juicier than the skirt steak I'd do on my old gas Weber.
