fajita marinade

2 tbsp. olive oil

2 cloves of garlic, crushed, then chopped

1 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. cumin

2 tbsp. lime juice

steak fajita stir fry

start with 2 tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet, medium heat

place into pan: 2 lbs. pounded, marinated skirt steak, cut into 1" strips, cooking one minute on each side

add all the vegetables, and turning up the heat a little:

1 shallot diced

1 medium onion cut into chunks

1 orange bell pepper, cut into 1" square pieces

1 yellow bell pepper, cut into slivers/strips

after they have cooked for 5 minutes, prepare a mix of 1 roma tomato and 2 tbsp. rum or a sweet liquor (i used triple sec). add this during the last minute of cooking

finish with 1/4 cup freshly minced cilantro, then remove from heat

serve with salsa and avocado, or on its own.

after the prep work and marinade is done, this is a fairly quick recipe. it's super healthy, and tastes awesome! i am loving my new paleo diet cookbook!

* for your reference, craisins and raisins are dried fruit, so technically they are not part of the paleo diet. most dried fruit contains sulfides and added sugar. i'm in a transitioning phase, so i'm not going to worry too much about it though...
