Put your broiler to work for sizzling steak fajitas that cook on one sheet pan in just 10 minutes.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    35 minutes

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. ground coriander
2 tsp. ground cumin
2 tsp. kosher salt
1 large red onion, halved, sliced into 1/4" strips
3 large bell peppers, preferably mixed colors, sliced into 1/2" strips
1 lb. fajita steak or thinly sliced flank steak
8 flour tortillas
Sour cream, lime wedges, and hot sauce (for serving)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place racks in top and lower thirds of oven; preheat broiler. Place an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet on top rack.

    Step 2

    Stir oil, chili powder, coriander, cumin, and salt in a small bowl. Transfer half to a large bowl; set remaining oil mixture aside. Add onion and peppers to large bowl and toss to combine.

    Step 3

    Carefully remove hot pan from oven. Transfer vegetable mixture to pan and arrange in a single layer; reserve bowl. Broil until beginning to brown and soften, about 5 minutes.

    Step 4

    Toss steak and reserved oil mixture in reserved bowl. Push vegetable mixture to one side of pan. Arrange steak in an even layer on remaining side. Broil until steak is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.

    Step 5

    Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in foil and place on another rimmed baking sheet. Bake on lower rack until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

    Step 6

    Serve steak mixture with tortillas, sour cream, lime, and hot sauce alongside.

Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
Beef Stroganoff Ramen
This traditional dish of beef, sour cream, and mustard may have originated in Russia, but it’s about time for a version with ramen noodles, don’t you think?

This dish is not only a quick meal option but also a practical way to use leftover phở noodles when you’re out of broth.

Mexican pasta probably isn’t something you’ve thought about before, but this poblano sauce may have you rethinking your devotion to the red variety.
Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.

Our Favorite French Onion Soup
Caramelized onions, melty Gruyère, and a deeply savory broth deliver the kind of comfort that doesn’t need improving.
Chicken Croquettes
Rather than breaded and fried as you might expect croquettes to be, these are something more akin to a seared chicken salad patty.
