Tonight I decided to try cooking everything in one skillet on a portable gas burner fueled with butane. This one-burner set-up is actually intended for use as a steamer for dyed fabric, but that is another story.
I took my supplies outside and set the burner on our wrought iron patio table.
First, I sauteed some squash blossoms. Why squash blossoms? Because I had some!
Next, I put a piece of marinated skirt steak into the hot pan, allowing it to cook until the meat was caramelized so it would release from the skillet, then turned and cooked the other side. Because the skirt steak was so thick on one end I placed it in a 450 degree oven for about 5 minutes to finish it before slicing into thin strips.
Delicious, and super-simple! Try it!
PS-fajitas can be made with steak, chicken, fish, and an assortment of sauteed veggies. If serving a large group, simple place all the ingredients on the counter or table, buffet-style, and allow people to "build" whatever type fajita they prefer. I normally include sauteed onions but I was so spontaneous I didn't take the time to cut one up!
Oh yummy. Love seeing the visuals of this dinner. This has given me great inspiration to give it a try.
