Beef Fajitas in the Oven Recipe

Quick prep. Quick bake. Quick clean-up. Try these simple, mouth-watering beef fajitas by October Featured Chef Megan Barrett. They are perfect for a week-night meal and pair well with Megan’s homemade tortillas and guacamole for bonus fat and fiber. 

“Looking for an easy and delicious weeknight dinner? Make beef fajitas in the oven tonight. Sheet pan dinners are one of my favorite types of meals to cook for my family. And these sirloin steak sheet pan fajitas are table ready in 30 minutes with great flavor and easy cleanup.

With this fajita tray bake, you’ll chop your veggies, season your steak, and put everything on the sheet pan, and stick it in the oven. Dinner will be ready for you 20 minutes later! It’s really that easy.

While your beef fajitas are cooking in the oven, you can set the table or pour yourself a glass of wine and relax.

I like mixing up the veggies in this recipe to use what I have on hand. So, while the recipe at the bottom of the page calls for carrots, peppers, and onions, you could easily omit one or more of those, or swap them out for another vegetable.”

Ingredients

• 1 lb sirloin steak
• 2 bell peppers
• ½ onion

• 4 tsp chili powder
• 2 tsp cumin
