Directions

Directions

Cut peppers and onion into strips and add a small amount of oil to coat lightly. Add garlic and onion powders, then place on sheet tray in oven at 400 F for 7-10 minutes. Season the steak bites with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes then stir until well coated. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil to the hot skillet, then add the steak in a single layer. Cook the steak bites for 3-4 minutes until brown, stirring occasionally. You may have to do this in batches depending on the size of your skillet. When the steak is brown, remove it from the pan. Remove any excess liquid from the skillet, then add the butter to the pan. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the steak back to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring to coat it in the butter sauce. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Garnish with green onion and serve immediately with fajita vegetables. 

Dietary and Nutrition

Widgets

Beef is rich in essential nutrients such as zinc and iron. Zinc helps maintain a healthy immune system and supports wound healing and muscle health. Iron from animal sources is better absorbed when paired with a vitamin C source, such as bell peppers. Save money by using flat iron steaks or other tender value cuts.
