Ingredients

  • 1 tsp Chili powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic salt
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1 tsp Fresh ground pepper

Fajita Marinade

  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Teriyaki sauce
  • 2 TBsp Worchester sauce
  • Water to cover

Instructions

  1. Poor all the liquids in a shallow bowl and mix thoroughly. Place fajita meat in the bowl. Add a little water to make sure the meat is completely covered.

  2. Allow to marinate for at least 8 hours or more. I suggest doing this in the morning before you head to work.

  3. Once the meat has marinated. Take it out and pat it dry and allow to rest for 10 minutes before applying rub. 

  4. Then apply the homemade fajita seasoning rub on the top and bottom of the meat.  Grill on med high heat for about 5 – 7 minutes on one side then flip and grill for about 3-5 minutes longer.

Recipe Notes

  • For really tender fajita meat, cut the meat against the grain. If you cut with the grain the meat will be tough.
  • You can add a teaspoon of the fajita seasoning rub to the marinade if you wish to give the meat a little more flavor. 
  • If you are watching your sodium intake use low sodium soy sauce and teriyaki sauce. Use only garlic powder instead of garlic salt.
