What makes a sheet pan dinner great?
If you have yet to try a sheet pan meal out, then this is your lucky day! Dinner comes together so quickly when you simply chop, mix and throw everything onto a pan and into a hot oven.
Steak fajitas are crazy easy, especially when you use this tip: Buy stir fry beef! You save time by not having to slice your meat, and it’s the perfect size and shape for fajitas.
Bonus tip: make a quick batch of taco and fajita seasoning mix and your fajita marinade will come together in a snap!
Ingredients in sheet pan steak fajitas
- stir fry beef (if stir fry beef isn’t available, use sirloin steak and slice into thin strips)
- bell pepper
- onion
- lime juice
- avocado oil
- taco and fajita seasoning mix
- sea salt
How to make sheet pan steak fajitas
- In a large bowl, combine the beef, bell pepper and onion. In a small bowl whisk together the lime juice, avocado oil, taco and fajita mix and sea salt. Pour over beef mixture, stir and allow to sit for 30 minutes, and up to 2 hours.
- Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F. Pour beef mixture onto rimmed baking sheet. If the pan is crowded, use 2 pans.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until beef is cooked and vegetables are slightly browned.
- Serve with tortillas and your favorite taco toppings!
Tips for quicker dinner prep
- Since finding stir fry beef, my steak fajita making has been taken to a whole new level of simplicity. If your grocery store doesn’t carry stir fry beef, but there is a butch counter, ask if they will slice a sirloin steak into stir fry beef for you. It will save you prep time!
- Pre-slicing bell pepper and onion ahead of time can also make this meal quicker to prep.
- If you make homemade taco and fajita seasoning (which I highly recommend!), the marinade is a snap to put together. If you don’t have the mix, I also listed the individual seasonings in the notes below the recipe.
Can I use chicken instead of steak?
Absolutely! Slice the chicken nice and thin. It will take the same amount of time in the oven. The chicken absorbs so much flavor, just like the steak!
