Seasoned tender steak, peppers and onions are cooked in one pan for mouthwatering fajitas the whole family will love. An easy 30-minute dinner with minimal cleanup!
Your oven practically does all the work and there’s no standing over a hot pan when making these AMAZING fajitas… it’s a perfect dinner for busy weeknights!
Your Simple Ingredients
By using skirt steak, no marinating is required and the result is deliciously seasoned and tender strips of steak with peppers, onions and garlic (YUM!).
A Helpful Hint for Slicing the Steak
Place in the freezer for about 30 minutes prior to slicing. This firms the meat and makes it easier to slice into thin strips.
How to Make It
- Toss together steak strips, peppers, onions and garlic with olive oil in a large bowl. Sprinkle seasonings over the mixture and toss again to coat as evenly as possible.
- Spread evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray and bake.
- During the last five minutes of baking, place flour tortillas (wrapped in aluminum foil) in the oven to heat.

Sheet Pan Steak Fajitas
Ingredients
For the fajita seasoning:
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
For the steak fajita filling:
- 1 ¼ pounds skirt steak sliced thinly in ¼ inch strips across the grain
- 3 medium bell peppers cored, seeded and sliced (I used green, yellow and red)
- 1 medium yellow onion halved and sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
For serving:
- 2 tablespoons lime juice from 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro optional garnish
- 6 fajita flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Prepare the seasoning by stirring the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss together the steak strips, peppers, onions and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and gently toss to coat. Sprinkle with seasoning over mixture, a little at a time while continuing to toss to coat evenly.
- Evenly distribute steak and vegetable mixture on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until steak is done and vegetables are tender. During the last 5 minutes of baking, place the tortillas wrapped in aluminum foil in oven to heat.
- Once pan is removed from oven, drizzle evenly with lime juice and garnish with desired amount of fresh chopped cilantro.
- Serve in heated tortillas with your favorite toppings.

Made last night turned out great. Cooked mine for 30 mins and turned out perfect. Added red pepper flakes to give it more heat. Used orange green and red peppers with the onions and steak. Thank you for a great and easy recipe.

Thank you for this recipe! The whole family loves steak fajitas with the bell peppers and onions. Plus, it’s so easy to prepare and fairly quick in the oven. Win win in my book. I do love the idea of making this a Sunday tradition for those reasons.

So happy to hear everyone loves it, thanks so much Destiny! 🙂
Ernesto says
Is 20 minutes correct? I followed the recipe exactly and it came out raw still.
Amy @ The Blond Cook says
Hi Ernesto, 20 minutes is what it took for me. Different ovens and elevations could cause a change in cooking times, that’s why I said “Bake for 20 minutes, or until steak is done and vegetables are tender.” I hope it turned out well once you cooked it longer! 🙂
Tommy says
did you not cut your steak thin enough maybe mine was perfect in 20 mins
Joanna says
Could I use cube steak in this recipe?

Courtney says
This has become a weekly favorite, although we sometimes replace the steak with chicken. SO good and so easy. My picky eater doesn’t like the cooked veg so I reserve raw peppers for him and everyone is happy.

Thanks so much, Courtney! I love easy sheet pan dinners! <3
