SUMMER STEAK & PEPPER FAJITAS

This is an untraditional approach to fajitas. People think they need all the traditional accouterments on their fajita bar: sour cream, salsa, etcetera. On mine, I like to make a couple stand out sauces and stick to lots of the same color scheme and use what’s in season. I want my food to taste good AND look pretty. This recipe can be cooked on a grill or in a cast iron skillet. It uses a lot of different peppers for the fajita fillings, the marinade and the sauce. Leave out the green bell pepper. I mean really, who likes those things? And they ruin the color palette.
