Ingredients
- 3/4 pound flank steak, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon peanut or vegetable oil
- 2 cups red and yellow bell pepper strips
- 1 cup thinly sliced onion
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 8 6 inches flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt or reduced-fat sour cream (optional)
Directions
1.
Cut steak along the grain into 2-inch-thick strips,
then cut each strip across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
2.
In a medium bowl, combine steak, garlic, 1
tablespoon sherry, cornstarch, soy sauce and black pepper. Stir in 1
teaspoon oil.
3.
Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add 1

peppers begin to wilt. Transfer to a plate.
4.
Add remaining oil, then steak in a single layer.
Cook steak undisturbed 1 minute. Add chili powder; stir-fry 15 seconds
or until just combined. Add pepper-and onion mixture, salt and remaining
sherry; stir-fry 1 minute or until beef is just cooked through. Stir in
cilantro.
5.
Serve with warmed tortillas and top with yogurt or sour cream if desired.
What I love about these fajitas - they are 387 calories for a serving (this should serve 4) and I feel full. As many of you know, I am trying to get wedding ready and finding the right food to eat while still feeling full has been a challenge. Brad also really liked this, he has been a pretty good sport about my lo-cal dishes :)
In terms of making this, I followed the recipe the first time through. The next couple times I've made this I used the 2 or 3 whole peppers, I don't like when recipes measure things in cups for veggies. I used about half an onion, we aren't big onion eaters but I like their flavor in moderation. These fajitas do have a great taste with the sherry and soy sauce - I was surprised about that. I never would've thought soy sauce for fajitas.
Enjoy :)
