Oh My, this Southwest Fajita Steak Salad so good and easy! Throw the salad together while the steak is on the grill and you’re good to go!
Anything Southwest or Mexican is a huge hit at this house so when I pulled a couple of flank steaks out of the freezer the other day I knew I wanted to make fajita’s with one but I wanted to try something new with the other…….and this is what I came up with!
I love flank steak although you don’t see it labeled that too often in the grocery store. It is more commonly called a London Broil at the store. It is lean and a great steak to marinate. If you check out Beef, It’s What’s For Dinner, they have great explanation of all the cuts of beef including the variety of names cuts can be called.
The key to my fajita’s and now this Southwest Fajita Steak Salad is the marinade. I got this recipe from my sister a few years ago and it’s my go to for fajitas. I marinate both steak and chicken in this recipe, it really gives the meat a great flavor without overpowering!
While the steak is on the grill I cut up the lettuce and veggies. Assemble them on a platter and as soon as the steak is done we are ready to eat! Although this particular night I couldn’t locate the head of lettuce I knew I bought. Luckily I had bought 2 but it drives me nuts when I know I bought something and can’t find it. Long story short I found it under a seat in my pick-up truck a week later!
