Garlic Lime Fajitas

I am new to this beef thing. I am not any good at picking out the proper cut for the meal I am making. I bought some top round, thinking "top" would be good. Not so much, it was chewy and tough. I was pleased with the method I used to flavor the meat, which was really, really flavorful.




1 pound beef, something not chewy
1 lime
2 cloves of garlic
1 green pepper
1 medium/large onion
sour cream
cheese of your choice
lime salsa, see recipe in blog

Tenderize the meat by beating with a pan, it didn't seem to help, but is was fun. Cut the meat into strips that will both cook quickly and fit on the wrap. Use a cheese grater to grate the garlic and zest the lime onto the meat. Squeeze the juice of the lime onto the meat also. Toss the meat, garlic, lime mix right on your cutting board giving it time to soak up the flavors.

Slice green peppers and onions. Saute in vegetable oil until they are soft. Salt and pepper to taste. Move to a plate to hold until service.

Turn heat up in pan to medium high. Add more veggie oil. Cook the garlic lime beef in batches, adding salt and pepper to each as you go. The garlic and lime zest does get very dark but the flavors are great. Once the meat is done add to veggie plate. Serve with the rest of the ingredients listed.
