DIFFICULTY

Easy

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Wagyu beef, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Tortillas for serving
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, cilantro

Method:

  1. Marinate the Beef:
    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the sliced Wagyu beef and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Cook the Vegetables:
    In a large skillet or grill pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, cooking until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sear the Wagyu:
    In the same skillet, add the marinated Wagyu beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until the beef is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
  4. Combine:
    Return the cooked vegetables to the skillet with the Wagyu beef. Toss to combine and heat through for an additional minute.
  5. Serve:
    Serve the beef and vegetable mixture on warm tortillas, adding any desired toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or cilantro.

Tips for Choosing the Best Tortillas

For the perfect Wagyu Beef Fajitas, selecting the right tortillas is key. Opt for soft flour tortillas for a classic fajita experience, as they wrap easily around the tender beef and vegetables. If you prefer a more authentic, earthy flavor, consider using corn tortillas, which add a slightly chewy texture that pairs well with the richness of Wagyu beef. Make sure to warm the tortillas before serving to enhance their pliability and bring out their full flavor.

Summary:

Wagyu Beef Fajitas bring a gourmet twist to the classic Tex-Mex favorite, elevating it with the unmatched tenderness and richness of premium Wagyu beef. The succulent beef, marinated in a blend of bold spices, pairs perfectly with the vibrant bell peppers and onions, creating a dish that's bursting with flavor and satisfying textures.

Easy to prepare yet impressive in taste, these fajitas are ideal for sharing with friends and family, whether for a casual dinner or a festive gathering. The richness of the Wagyu beef truly shines, making this recipe a delicious and memorable meal that highlights the premium quality of the ingredients.
