Steak Fajitas are just one of those dishes that I love to make at home! While I love to order them in a restaurant typically the amount in a serving seems to be more of an appetizer size to me than a full meal. (I have included affiliate links to products I love.

Now over the years, I have made my steak fajitas so many different ways! On the grill, on the stove, and on a campfire with a cast-iron skillet. Out of those methods, I would have to say the campfire was my favorite due to the flavor campfire adds. However, the easiest way I do them now is on my Blackstone Griddle, so much room on my 36-inch griddle. I made these with my Chicken Fajitas and Shrimp Fajitas as well.

How To Make steak Fajitas On The Blackstone:
Now if you want to take fajita night to the next level you can make your own tortilla using a tortilla press! I have been eying getting one to make my own. If you don’t use the Blackstone to warm your tortillas I recommend a Tortilla warmer especially if you are serving a large group!
Start out with a container or a bag to allow the meat to marinate before cooking. If you are using a tougher cut of meat the longer you should marinate the meat so the salt and lime can tenderize the meat more.
In a bowl or bag combine your Taco Seasoning, Fajita seasoning, Chili Lime Seasoning, Olive Oil, water, and lime juice. Now there isn’t much measuring it mostly depends on how seasoned you like your meat.
I used Petite Sirloin Steaks on our kabobs so you can use these next couple of steps on any cut of meat to help tenderize and flatten the meat.
Wrap your meat in butcher paper and use a meat tenderizer to pound the steak to flatten it out to about a 1/2 inch. I used this one -> here on mine.
Once you have flattened out your meat set it into your marinade. At this time I cut up my limes and mixed them into the marinade with the steak as well.
Allow your steaks to set in the Fajita marinade for at least a couple of hours to overnight I allowed mine to set for about four hours.
Before you are ready to fire up the griddle cut up your peppers onions.
Now a good knife is a must-have in any kitchen! I picked up this Aicok Knife (HERE)for under $10, but it’s keeps going out of stock often on Amazon due to how awesome it is. There are a lot of other top-rated knives on Amazon at a great price. I am not the best at picking out Knives so when I can read reviews to find a good quality knife it’s a win for me.
For Fajitas I recommend cutting the peppers into quarters and then sliced them into long slices.
When you are ready to start cooking fire up your Blackstone griddle.
Re-oil your griddle, I always re-oil just to make sure my griddle won’t stick and cooks well.
When your griddle is ready I turned the heat down on low and then dropped the meat on.
Stir your meat often using the spatulas that came in the Blackstone Griddle Accessories kit.
When your meat is almost done start to mix your veggies into your meat. I made this at the same time as shrimp and chicken fajitas so I spread my veggies out.
Cook until your veggies are tender and your meat is cooked.
Remove and then scrape your griddle clean with the Blackstone Scraper that comes in the Blackstone Accessory kit.
Re-oil your griddle if needed.
Butter both sides of tortillas shells and throw on the Blackstone to grill them up.
Remove and serve!

Delicious- I will keep this one. I use stir fry meat to save time. In the ingredients expand to say taco mix packet, same for the others. The lime juice qty should be 1 lime. The tbsp of minced garlic should be put into the marinade. Just put butter on griddle to warm up fajitas. Brush with butter before flipping. BUT this is a keeper!
