Chevy's Mesquite Grilled Steak Fajitas
I love Chevy's. Spicy, fresh, homemade tortillas, unique food, and FUN! (think large sombrero and loud singing for the birthday person) But we moved and are not near Chevy's anymore. My favorite menu item is their amazing fajitas. This recipe reminds me of the good times at Chevy's.
Too cold to grill? I use a cast iron grill pan on the stove top during winter months. You can find them at Bed Bath & Beyond or Amazon.

Ingredients:
| Ingredients for the Fajitas: | |
| 2 pounds | skirt steak |
| agua negra marinade | |
| Aqua Negra Marinade: | |
| 1 cup | soy sauce |
| 2 cups | pineapple juice |
| 2 tablespoons | ground cumin |
| 3 | minced garlic cloves |
| 1/4 cup | freshly squeezed lime juice |
Directions:
1 Prepare the Aqua Negra Marinade:
2 Combine all ingredients with a whisk in a mixing bowl, making sure to break up any lumps of spices. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Makes 3 1/2 cups.
3 To Marinate the Steak:
4 Place the meat in a resealable container. Pour the marinade over the meat, and move the meat around to make sure that it is evenly covered. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours.
5 To Grill the Steak:
6 Start the coals in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill. Place the beef on the grill and leave undisturbed until grill marks form, then rotate 90° to create a second set of marks. After 2 to 3 minutes, turn the beef to cook the other side. Transfer the beef to a work surface and slice.
7 To Serve: Serve the steak with grilled onions and peppers, on soft corn or flour tortillas, guacamole, pico.
NOTE: Save out 1/2 cup of the Agua Negra Marinade to toss the onions and peppers with.
