beef fajitas method

In a small roasting pan or high sided dish, mix together the oregano, cumin, paprika, olive oil, lime juice and zest. Season generously with salt and pepper. Roll the steaks thoroughly in the herb and spice mixture. Allow to sit in the lime spice mixture for about 10 minutes or cover with cling film and refrigerate for a few hours.

Toss the capsicums in a little olive oil.

Preheat a barbeque grill or large frying pan to very hot. Grill the steaks for 2-3 minutes on one side, then turn and grill for another 2 minutes (for medium rare) or until done to your liking. Cook the capsicum until soft and slightly caramelised (cook next to the meat so they also pick up some of the spiced meat flavour).

Allow the meat to rest covered in foil for about 5 minutes.

While the meat rests make the guacamole. Add all the ingredients to a bowl and stir to combine. Add lemon or lime juice and salt to taste.

Cut the steak in diagonal slices. Decorate with capsicum, extra coriander leaves and lime wedges. Serve with warmed tortillas or wraps, sour cream and salsa
