Recipe: Steak Fajitas on the Bubba Keg

I typically cook low 'n slow, but this weekend I decided to do something a little different.  I picked up a package of flank steaks at Sam's Club on Sunday morning, along with a large package of sweet peppers and a large package of tortillas.  Of course, you can't buy small packages of anything at Sam's Club.

Here's how I prepared the flank steak.  I whipped up a marinade and put a 1.5lb flank steak in a zip lock bag with the marinade.  I put this in the refrigerator and left it for a couple of hours.  I then fired up the Bubba Keg grill and got it up to ~500* (I had chuck roasts for BBQ beef on the Big Green Egg).  I cooked the flank steak direct over a hot fire for 6 or 7 minutes per side.

At the same time, I put a pan of sliced sweet peppers drizzled in olive oil on the Bubba Keg next to the flank steak.  The peppers took a couple of minutes longer than the steak to get good and tender, but they were tasty.

I sliced the flank steak across the grain, making thin strips suitable for fajitas.  Steak & peppers straight off of the grill along with a little sour cream, shredded cheese, and shredded lettuce and we had a great meal.

Here's a rough approximation of the marinade.  I was winging it so YMMV:

• 1/3 cup of olive oil
• 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup of soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon of minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon of cracked black pepper
• 2 tablespoons of dijon mustard

Cheers,
Braddog

Man, that sounds good. You keep a hunk of pork fat handy to lube the grill with between flank steaks, replace the sweet peppers with jalapenos sprinkled with salt and lime juice and you've got an authentic Mexican taco stand!

We made flank steak last night (enchiladas) and tonight (just marinated & grilled). I think all of us loaded up on the Sams deal!
