My DAD always makes killer fajitas... I could eat them all day long... Every day... I always thought he cooked flank steak a special way to make it super tender.. But i was wrong.. He uses skirt steak and cooks it on a low temperature for a longer time.. Try this next time for beef..
Skirt Steak: (1lb, 2lbs, whatever..)
Marinate your steaks like so.. (Marinate on both sides of steak) Sprinkle paprika over steaks.. Then sprinkle garlic powder.. Some freshly cracked pepper.. U can use red pepper flakes for some heat.. Take some light soy sauce and squirt over steak both sides.. Then add some ketchup to both sides.. Then add about 1 TBSP of bar-b-que sauce to each side.. Use your fingers and work everything into meat.. Place in ziplock bag and set in fridge to marinate at least an hour.. Overnight is better..
Set oven to 325 F
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.. (For easy cleanup)
Place a baking rack on baking sheet.. (SO fat can drip down off meat)
Place steaks on baking rack and cover with aluminum foil.. We want the meat to steam cook..
Put baking sheet in middle rack of oven.. And cook for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.. Skirt steak is thin so meat should be super tender by then..
After cooking let meat rest covered with foil on cutting board for 10 minutes..
Cut up and enjoy with favorite fajita mixings.. Or eat byself.. Or with any carb/veggie source you desire...
