Classic Fajitas

Ingredients

1 flank steak - (abt 2 1/2 lbs)
Salt to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper to taste
1 lrg onion peeled, and cut
into 1/2"-thk rounds
2 lrgs red or green bell peppers cored, seeded,
and cut into large wedges
16 flour tortillas - (10" dia)
Salsa for serving
Guacamole for serving

Preparation

1
Preheat grill with all burners set to high and the lid down until the grill is very hot, about 15 minutes.
2
Sprinkle both sides of the steak with lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. Grill steak, covered, until well seared and dark brown on one side, 4 to 6 minutes. Flip steak using tongs; continue grilling on the other side until the interior of the meat is slightly less done than you want it to be when you eat it, 2 to 5 minutes more for rare or medium-rare.
3
Transfer meat to a cutting board; cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.
4
Reduce grill heat to medium. While steak rests, grill onion and peppers, turning occasionally, until onion is lightly charred, about 6 minutes, and peppers are streaked with dark grill marks, about 10 minutes. Remove vegetables from grill, and cut into long, thin strips; set aside.
5
Arrange tortillas around edge of grill; heat until just warmed, about 20 seconds per side. (Take care not to dry out tortillas or they will become brittle.) Wrap tortillas in a towel to keep warm.
6
Slice meat. Arrange the sliced meat and vegetables on a large platter; serve immediately with the tortillas, salsa and guacamole passed separately.
