  • One tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • Half tsp garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Quarter tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2-3 tbsp low-sodium vegetable broth

INGREDIENT NOTES:

LEAN FLANK STEAK:

  • Since this meat is lean, it is suitable for people on a Weight Watchers diet. This meat actually has flavor in it. The cooking time for this meat is also not too long, and it will become soft after you cook it. One necessary thing to do with this meat is to cut it perpendicularly to the muscle fibers. Another idea for you to use can be beef strips (trimmed).

BELL PEPPERS:

  • You can utilize any color of the bell peppers, which will provide a nice overall color to the dish. These are naturally sweet in taste, and they will include a crunchy element as well.

ONION:

  • The flavor of the overall dish will become better when we include an onion in it. You will also not need any oil, as it will give out liquid when it cooks. You can try using a yellow or white onion.

SPICES:

  • Spices will not include any fat content in this recipe, and the caloric count will also remain lower. The classic and delicious fajita taste will come along with the use of spices in this recipe. Both the vegetables and the steak will become tasty when we add spices to the dish. If you need a substitute for these, try using a seasoning that does not have any salt in it.

LIME JUICE:

  • The steak can easily become softer with the addition of lime juice, which can also provide an overall fresh feeling to the dish. Other common alternatives for this can include apple cider vinegar or even lemon juice.

LOW-SODIUM VEGETABLE BROTH:

  • This is an essential ingredient for cooking this dish, as we are avoiding the use of oil for this Weight Watchers recipe. You can also try the use of simple water for this purpose, and if using the vegetable broth, try the one with a low level of sodium in it. The fatijas will keep their moisture with the addition, even when we are not relying on oil for cooking.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Take the lean flank steak and cut it up perpendicular to the muscle fibers in it.
  2. Then you will require a bowl to include all the spices in it.
  3. Taking the large skillet, place it above a medium or high flame.
  4. Include the sliced steak pieces in the warm skillet.
  5. Also, include half the amount of spices from the bowl in the skillet.
  6. 4 minutes will be the cooking time for this.
  7. Then, include about one or two tbsp of broth if you feel the meat is sticking.
  8. After removing the cooked steak from the skillet, allow it to sit.
  9. Now comes the addition of onion and bell peppers to the skillet.
  10. From the spice bowl, include the remaining spices as well.
  11. Cooking time for this will be about 6 minutes.
  12. Use broth in this cooking process as well if you require it.
  13. Add the cooked meat to the skillet as well and combine everything.
  14. Addition of lime juice comes at the end, and then cook for the final 2 minutes.
  15. Now your steak fajitas are ready for you to eat and enjoy.
