Ingredients
Instructions
- Marinate the steak in dry fajita seasoning and liquid Figaro fajita season for at least 1 hour.
- Heat a skillet and add Italian dressing, then cook the marinated steak until browned.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, marinate the steak overnight if possible. You can substitute the round steak with flank steak or chicken for a different protein option. If you prefer a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños while cooking the onions and bell pepper. To save time, consider using pre-cut vegetables. This dish pairs wonderfully with Mexican recipes like Alamo Fajita Salad.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the fajitas with additional toppings like guacamole and fresh cilantro for extra flavor. A side of Mexican rice or refried beans complements the meal perfectly. Consider making a Taco Salad Stack-Ups for a fun twist on leftovers or serve with chips and salsa for a complete spread.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover fajitas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the steak and vegetables in a skillet over medium heat until heated through. You can also microwave them covered for 1-2 minutes, but be cautious not to overheat, as it may dry them out.
