Instructions
-
Combine all the ingredients for the homemade seasoning. Reserve 1 1/2 teaspoons for the bell peppers.
-
In a large resealable bag, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice, mustard and 5 teaspoons of the fajita seasonings. Add the steak, and press the bag in to evenly distribute the flavors. Allow to sit while you prepare the vegetables.
-
Prepare the bell peppers and onions by slicing into thin strips.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and allow to cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until softened and fragrant. Add the bell peppers and sprinkle with the reserved 1 1/2 teaspoons of fajita seasonings. If you like the peppers with a nice crunch - cook for about 3-5 minutes. And if you like them softer, leave them on for about 3 minutes longer. Transfer and set aside on a plate.
-
Melt butter on the same skillet. Add the steak and sear undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Cook longer if you like your steak more well done. Transfer steak to a cutting board and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
-
Serve hot with heated tortillas, avocado slices and lime wedges plus any other toppings of your choice.
-
For a low carb version, you can use coconut wraps, low carb tortillas or serve over some lettuce or cauliflower rice.

For Meal Prep: Divide evenly into lunch containers.
