Marinate the Steak Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl or zip-top bag. Add sliced steak and marinate and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight in the fridge for maximum flavor and tenderness. Optional but recommended: Make a second batch of the marinade and set it aside to use while cooking for added sauciness. Preheat Your GriddleHeat both burners on medium-high. Add a splash of olive oil. Cook the SteakSear steak in batches, 2–3 minutes per side, until browned and slightly crisp on the edges. Remove from griddle and cover loosely. Cook the VeggiesAdd butter to the griddle. Toss on onions and bell peppers. Cook 5–7 minutes until they start to caramelize. Add mushrooms and jalapeños, and cook another 3–4 minutes until golden and tender. Bring It All TogetherReturn steak to the griddle, mix with veggies, and pour some of the reserved marinade over everything. Let it all cook together another 1–2 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly and glaze the meat and vegetables. Squeeze a little lime over the top before serving. Serve HotLoad into tortillas and add your favorite toppings. Eat immediately while it's still sizzling!

Marinate Overnight: For the best flavor, marinate the steak overnight. It tenderizes the meat and infuses every bite with bold Tex-Mex seasoning.
-
Use Reserved Marinade: Making a second batch of marinade to pour over the fajitas while cooking adds a rich, saucy finish — highly recommended!
-
Griddle Tip: Preheat your Blackstone for 5–10 minutes before cooking. A hot surface is key to getting that caramelized sear.
-
Veggie Flexibility: Don’t have mushrooms or jalapeños? You can swap in zucchini, poblano peppers, or even corn for a twist.
-
Tortilla Tip: Warm your tortillas on the griddle’s edge for a soft, slightly crisp finish right before serving.
-
Spice Level: Adjust the heat by using more or fewer jalapeños — or leave the seeds in for extra kick.
