About this cut

What it is and how to use it

Fajita strips are thin slices of boneless beef, commonly cut from the flank, skirt or sirloin, with the grain running the short way across each strip. They cook in a couple of minutes over high heat and soak up marinade quickly. Toss them with peppers and onions in a hot skillet for fajitas, or use them in tacos, salads and rice bowls. They are cut a little wider and longer than stir-fry strips.

Cook’s tipMarinate in lime juice, oil and spices for 30 minutes to a few hours, then cook in a very hot pan in small batches for one to two minutes per side.
