• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian salad dressing
• 1 (12 ounce) mexican beer (such as Corona)
• 2 lbs skirt steaks, trimmed of ALL fat
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (optional)

2. When desired, remove from freezer and thaw in the fridge or a sink full of cold water.
3. Grill for 10-15 minutes or until medium (pink in the center).
4. Cut fajitas AGAINST THE GRAIN and serve with warmed tortillas, shredded cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo (#159078), sour cream, guacamole or your favorite toppings.

The beef was so tuff and unflavored and bland how can you add hot spices and still have a bland dish? My kids refused to eat it.

Delicious! And so easy - I used the jalapenos, but skipped the onions. Like JillAZ, I also used as an OAMC recipe. I'm going to be making this often.

Forgot to rate this! I made this in my last oamc plan. Very tasty fajitas and work great to freeze in the marinade ahead of time. This has been added to my regular rotation. Yum!
