Sizzlin Steak Fajitas

I've been told by a certain male in my household that I don't cook enough steak.  So, dear husband...this recipe was for you! 

What is it about the sizzle of fajitas that just makes your mouth water anytime a waiter at a restaurant walks by you with a plate?  With my attempts to duplicate this restaurant quality at home, I've found a couple tricks along the way that work well and settled upon the below recipe our family highly enjoys!

 
Sizzlin Steak Fajitas
Ingredients
1 Tbsp Tastefully Simple Roasted Garlic Oil
1 onion
1 green or red bell pepper
1 flat iron steak (1 - 1 1/2 lbs)
flour tortillas (I use burrito size, but you can use smaller)
Your favoite toppings (cheese, avacado, tomato, lettuce, etc.)
Tastefully Simple Seasonings:  Seasoned Salt, Garlic Pepper, Wahoo Chili, and Fiesta Party Dip



Directions
Season the steak with Garlic Pepper and Seasoned Salt and grill 7-8 minutes (turning 1/2 way through and seasoning other side).  You want to get the nice grill marks and crispiness out the outside - the inside will still be pink.  Remove from grill and let steak rest for at least 10 minutes while you cook the vegetables.  This allows the juices to redistribute into the meat.

Heat oil in skillet over medium heat.  Slice onion and bell pepper and add to skillet.  Sprinkle with Garlic Pepper, Wahoo Chili and Fiesta Party Dip.  Note:  The fiesta will add the heat factor, so use it based on how spicy you like your flavor.  Once onions have carmelized, slice steak diagonally into thin strips against the grain and add into skillet.  Continue to stir and cook until steak is done to your liking.  Heat tortillas (I microwave for about 30 seconds), stack your meat, veggies, and toppings & enjoy!
