For the skirt steak marinade

Blackstone/Flat Top Cooking Instructions for Steak Fajitas
  1. Heat your griddle to medium-high/high heat. Lightly oil the surface if needed. Pour the marinated steak and veggies onto the hot surface. Cook and toss around approximately 4 minutes on each side.
  2. If you prefer your peppers softer and more cooked, try to separate them and add a little water and cover to help them steam while the steak is cooking .
  3. Cook until the veggies are done to your liking and the steak is cooked and toss all together. On the other side of the flat top, toss down your tortillas to warm them up.
  4. Assemble your steak fajitas as desired.
Stove Top Instructions
  1. Just use a cast iron skillet or large skillet with a little cooking oil and warm up over high heat before cooking the steak/veggies. Then assemble as desired.
