3. Spray a heavy bottomed skillet with avocado oil spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add the skirt steak and sear quickly on both sides. Don’t cook it through, you’re only looking to sear it.

Toppings for Fajitas

Some great toppings for fajitas include:

Substitutions and alterations

• Skirt steak – While we feel that skirt steak will give you a house favorite results, you can also use flank steak. It won’t be as soft and may not absorb as much flavor, but it will still taste great.
• Bell peppers – we use a variety of colors, but all colors work well.
• Poblano pepper – If you’re worried about spice or don’t like poblanos, you can omit this entirely.
• Onion – white onion lends a house favorite flavor to this recipe, but red will work as well.
• Fajita seasoning – We like using from-scratch, but you can use store bought or even use taco seasoning in a pinch.
• Avocado oil spray – we recommend avocado oil because of the high smoke point, but feel free to substitute olive oil if you prefer.

What To Serve With Oven Baked Fajitas

How to keep and Reheat Sheet Pan Steak Fajitas

To store the leftover fajitas, we recommend waiting until they cool completely and then placing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.

To reheat them, we recommend reheating them in a skillet on the stove top. This will prevent your beef from becoming overcooked and you end up with a much better result.

If you reheat them in the microwave, you run the risk of overcooking your beef. We recommend if you do decide to take this route, reheating them 30 seconds at a time on medium heat.
