Want an easy and flavorful dinner with quick clean up? These Sheet Pan Steak Fajitas are a perfect dish to feed a crowd and satisfy that Mexican craving!
So we love Mexican food around here. My kids constantly request tacos all the time! There is only so many taco recipes I can make until I get sick of them. Usually they love just the normal ground beef tacos, whereas I need to switch it up time to time.
So when we can put a spin on our Mexican food nights we do, and now that I adore making all these sheet pan meals, I’ve been making all the things that I can think of.
I mean who doesn’t love quick clean up? Thats the perfect part about sheet pan meals is that they are all baked on one dish and it all comes together in the end. These Sheet Pan Steak Fajitas are one of our absolute favorite dishes to make.
We love to mix a variety of color into these fajitas, we use red onion, green pepper, yellow pepper, orange pepper and red pepper to give it a nice contrast. We also love to marinate our veggies and meat before hand so that it really lets the flavors soak up into everything.
WHAT IS THE BEST STEAK FOR FAJITAS?
Traditionally fajitas are made with skirt or flank steak. Now we cannot always find these around us so we also have used thin cut top round steak. It’s already the perfect thickness and is sold in our stores as “fajita meat” most of the time. You can switch it us as much as you want, but a leaner cut is best.
WHAT DO YOU MARINADE THE FAJITAS IN?
So we use a simple marinade of:
- olive oil
- worcestershire sauce
- lime juice
- garlic
- cumin
- chili powder
- salt & pepper
- sugar
We mix that all up and place our steak and veggies in a gallon ziploc bag and pour the marinade over and seal and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
HOW DO YOU SERVE STEAK FAJITAS?
This is personal preference. We usually top ours with some cheese, sour cream and guacamole. I also love to add a touch of pico de Gallo for a little extra kick. I also love to make these into rice bowls and serve over the rice instead of on tortilla shells.
You can serve these steak fajitas any way that you like. This recipe is for the basis of the meat, marinade and veggies. You could use this on pizza, sandwiches, rice bowls, etc. The possibilities are limitless at this point.
When it comes to steak fajita recipes this is the one that you need! It is easy, flavorful and has a simple clean up. The kids love it, the adults love it and it makes a huge batch! No one will go hungry with this recipe!

I liked the sheet pan idea but felt like the steak cooked faster than the vegetables. Also it was my first time and last time putting sugar into a fajita marinade, it doesn’t need it.

I made these tonight and the marinade in an hour made my top round nice and tender! The marinade gave everything a really delicious flavor as well with a little bit of heat from.the red pepper flakes was perfect. It may sound odd but I actually used this meat on top of a bowl of beef ramen minus only the bell pepper and it worked so well! My hubby didn’t want to stop eating it from the sheet tray during assembly 😁. Thank you so much for this recipe!
