-RECIPE-
▪1.5lbs/.7kg Top Sirloin Roast
▪250g/2 med-lrg red or orange bell peppers, julienned
▪125g/1lrg poblano, julienned
▪250g/1 white onion, sliced pole to pole
▪10-15g/4 cloves garlic
▪2g or 1tsp ground cumin
▪2g or 1tsp chili powder
▪2g 1tsp paprika
▪1g or 1tsp dried oregano
▪Lime, halved
▪1 bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped
▪High smoke point oil (avocado, canola, etc)
▪Salt
▪Pepper
Cut roast in half, then cut pieces in half horizontally so they’re thin (see video @:51). Salt generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Preheat cast iron over high and add a lot of oil (4Tbsp or so). Dab any excess moisture from meat then place into hot pan. Press each steak into pan and allow to cook for 90 sec total on side 1. Flip and cook for an additional 60-90 sec. Remove beef from pan to rest.
Wipe out excess oil in pan and add peppers and onion followed by large pinch of salt. Stir to combine then cook for about 45-60 seconds, undisturbed. Stir and repeat 2-3 times until you’ve cooked the veg for about 5 min until softened slightly and beginning to char. Add spices and garlic and stir for a few seconds to take the raw edge off the garlic.
Transfer fajita veg mix to a bowl. Slice beef against the grain then add to fajita veg mix along with any resting juices, juice of ½ lime, and 1-2 pinches fresh chopped cilantro.
Reheat beef and veg in a pan over medium just to heat through. Place on fresh warmed tortilla and top with whatever you like. I use fresh tomatillo salsa, queso fresco, and fresh cilantro.

I like that you explain WHY you do certain steps. "Salt to draw out moisture," for example. Its helped me learn techniques to cook for myself rather than just following recipes to the T
My wife just made these! Bro. Best. Fajitas. Ever. And I'm from Texas. I've had some dang good fajitas in my life.
Honestly dude you've become my favorite cooking youtuber lately. Dudes like adam ragusea and ethan chlebowski are amazing too but I don't have the time to do half the recipes they show and your weeknighting videos are actually plausible for me. Not to mention the vibes are just right
all about the good vibes over here
Yeah man, vibes dude. Good vibes bro. Just vibes bruh, all about vibes. Gotta be vibing, I can’t sleep at night if I don’t vibe or get good vibes from the moon.
@@BrianLagerstrom Weeknighting is my entire meal planning for...well...weeknights. Amazing and quick. My favorite sub right now.
I agree with you completely, I watch those other two as well. Brian's food is on another level.
He needs to be on Food TV, great voice, look and you can really cook!
Brian "Ripped Beef" Lagerstrom to the rescue to solve the age-old 'what the heck are we going to eat this week' question! Thanks Bri!
Broke college student here, working two jobs and exhausted out of my mind. Your weeknighting series is a huuuuuuuge help; I pick two of your recipes per week, make 'em on Sunday, then freeze them in Tupperware. Boom, homemade frozen dinners.
What beef did u use
As I recall, the original fajita was fajita (its namesake -- beef skirt steak) marinated in lime juice.
This.
Brian your videos are honestly amazing...I used to watch you often but now everything you do seems to be hitting the spot, plus i never fail learn something new! 10/10 haha
That's awesome to hear. Thanks, Nick!
Totally agree with you, Nick. Bri does an amazing job of hitting that sweet spot between “that looks amazingly delicious” and “I can do that!” I hope people appreciate that it often takes a lot of work to make things look easy. Bri is putting in that work so that we don’t have to. Really appreciate his talent and quality of work. Gets a 10/10 from me too!
Was it the onions?
Fantastic. It's nice to see someone who's a legit chef that is actually explaining recipes as a hospitality professional and making things but in a home-scale style video. Subscribed chef.
I love my cast iron skillet. Develops a great temperature for any meat. Cook it more slowly, but it is always juicy and perfectly cooked.
My absolute favorite thing about your videos is dancing while you eat at the end. I pull the same move whenever I'm eating something I truly enjoy. You can't help but to just move with it.
I made your Loaded Baked Potato salad this weekend and it is AMAZING... I'll try the other two soon.
it's insane, right? glad you liked it.
Fajitas are one of my favorite foods of all time! I love this “Weeknighting” series. I don’t understand how you don’t have like a million subscribers, you are definitely one of the best chefs out there and I watch a ton of cooking videos on CZcams.
The Weeknight series is so awesome. Easy and delicious :)
Oh man the barbell bit cracked me up! Enough confidence to be goofy for our entertainment! Funny! 😂
Oh man, this is a really down-to-earth fajita recipe, with ingredients we can all pretty much keep in our fridge and spice rack at any point, apart from the meat. I will be definitely implementing a "fajitas once per week" principle in my life!
Fajitas are skirt steak not sirloin or flank. Skirt steak.
AND YES PLEASE KEEP THE WEEKNIGHTING RECIPES COMING! Great series. Super helpful. (Thank you!)
always turned off by many youtube cooking channels because their recipes always seem to assume you have incredible technical knowledge and plenty of money and time to make complicated food from expensive ingredients. ive just discovered your channel now and im so happy to find someone who will actually explain why youre doing what you do and whats actually going on in your pan. definitely subscribing
I learned so much in this video. Thank you!
You are killing it lately, Brian! Love your Weeknighting series, it's so delicious and approachable. Thanks for always delivering the quality recipes
Will definitely make these! Thanks for sharing, man!
Looks great and so simple and quick! 👍🏻
I love this series
5:09 “Gets you frickin’ shredded like the B man” 😂😂😂
Love this dish and you make it look so simple, and it is. Thank you for this video.
I almost never fail to find a great meal idea on your channel, and both your recipes and presentation are outstanding. Many thanks for what you do. Making this tonight!
Great video and recipe! I have always enjoyed your concise and explanatory style.
This reminded me that I needed a good fajita recipe. Can't wait to try this out!
This looks AMAZING. I have a pretty good Mexican place close by, but they always cook the beef more than I like, and can't seem to do it any less cooked. This meat looked absolutely perfect. Absolutely going to try this one.
The meat most likely isn't cooked to order
Super validating. Exactly how I make this dish.
One of your best dishes yet. Absolutely delicious, easy, and (I think?) pretty healthy. 10/10
I always listen carefully to your videos. There is always good tips, for not only what you are making but in general. Good recipe!
This series is such a goldmine. I tried the Chicken Caesar salad which turned out great. Gonna try this next.
Made these tonight for dinner. They turned out wonderful! ❤
Oh now these look insane, def gonna have to make this one Bri 😎
You tomatillo salsa is absolutely delicious ... I have made it several times now at varying level of heat and it's awesome.
Another weeknighting banger! Adding this to the rotation this week for sure.
looks so good
Sick recipe Bri! Tasted amazing and pretty easy to make. 🤤
Oh my gosh man. I made these tonight and holy moly they are good!!
Easily one of the best chefs on CZcams. I learn so much everytime and it’s well explained! Thank you!
Great info on the cut of meat! I feel like I always see flank or skirt steak described as a “cheap cut” but I have never found that to be the case in STL.
Exactly! Same here in Southern IL. 30 miles from Paducah.
I JUST made these and OH MY GOSH these were super fast to prepare! Definitely gonna make these again!
I must try this recipe.
Very nice and great tip about the roast alternative
Thanks Husky
Oh man, those look easy to make and so good!
Bro!! BROOOOO! In the midst of eating these and they are so freaking good. So excited to make these for the SO.
This looks soooo good 🤤
love watching your vids
Absolutely amazing, just made this tonight, followed your recipe exactly except using the tomateo sauce. Wish could load a pic
Bri I've been making fajitas for years. I followed your recipe to T probably the best fajita to I've ever had. Keep up the good work!
You are doing a great job! Keep it up
I never knew about Lowrys for fajita seasoning. Thanks for the tip!
Dude! Good job on the workouts!! The second the video started and thought, “Bri is looking kinda buff!”
Yummy! I love fajitas and of course…your way is Amazing! I can’t wait to make these. I always use sirloin for mine I think it’s more tender. Thanks Brian! 😋😍
Wow amazing, you are very a good cooker
Damn great method. Thanks for another great tutorial for beginners & inspired new method/recipe for those more experienced - can't wait to try ASAP!
I hope you do try! Thanks!
Omg just made these with ribeyes we had on hand - WOWWWW You already made me the banana bread guy now I’m going to be the fajita guy too thank you!!!
Solid video, Beef. On the list to try.
Hey Bri, just made this last night with my gf, it was perfect.. we used egg life wraps for the tortillas, and everything turned out amazing.. thanks for the video!!
Top Sirloin - nice choice. Flavor and price. Cut the cords! Looks so good. Thanks for sharing
We’ve been making these fajitas for a year now. Haven’t been back to Chili’s since. Thanks for the upgrade Brian👍
Making these tonight!
Short-sleeved Bri, keeping it cool in the summa time.
Looks delicious. I use Skirt steak for my fajitas.
You made perfect fajitas
Former Austinite here. To me, beef skirt is a 100% must. Also if you don’t want to make your own seasoning try Bolner’s Fiesta Brand fajita seasoning. It’s out of San Antonio and awesome. I have no financial ties to this company, just what I’ve always used.
good vibes let's eat this thing!
In our house, corn tortillas are the standard. The fajita mix looks delicious!
Another awesome video. I appreciate how unpretentious and down to earth you are.
"Speaking of ripped beef" 🤣😂😅 I love it
I made these tonight…wow!! If these are fajitas then what have I been eating my whole life. Total game changer!
Delicious
Some of my friends get excited to watch new reality show episodes or Netflix series, well I get excited every time Bri puts a new video out… I always learn at least 1 or 2 cooking techniques and a great recipe.
I love the taste of poblano peppers, I put them in my fajitas too. 👍👍
I’m watching this while at work and absolutely STARVING .. I’d pay so much to be eating those amazing looking tacos !
I've never been able to get sirloin to taste very good so I've always written it off. Will have to revisit now, thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you for this content. I absolutely love your videos. You just seem like a good dude \m/
Great channel, I'm addicted
Спасибо за рецепт, Уверена, что будет вкусно. Здоровья вам. 🌹
🌹🌹Thanks for the recipe, I'm sure it will be delicious. Health to you.
This is really great! Friday, it is happening. ”Let’s eat this thing!”
I always use a a well marbled chuck roast or a few chuck eyes for my fajitas and i slice them quite thin basically shabu shabu style. The fat content in the chuck keeps them from drying out.
But I mainly do this because each week I buy a chuck roast and a package of chicken thighs as my utility meats. They are both very versatile cuts of meat at cheap prices.
Hey Brian! man this tonight and the Teriyaki Salmon last week and both knocked both my wife and I's socks off! thank you good sir and please, please just keep doing what you're doing! much love from a simple home for many who just loves to cook any and all cuisines.
-Jonathan
Me too. My favourite too
Okay, the "ripped beef" transition made me actually LOL. Well done.
This channel is F****** FIRE! Love from India!
The tip about using top sirloin just changed my life!
THANKS!
Learned a bunch of neato tips from this, even as a seasoned fajitas maker (pun intended). Excited for the next time I make some!!
“RIPPED BEEF”🤣🤣💪🏻💪🏻
Love the content bro, spot on every time!
OMG Bri, we're like having the same thought process. Sirloin is like 3.99 a pound here in LA, flank is 8.99. I bought the flank and made beef chow mein with peppers and onions from Kenjis the Wok (fire recipe btw). While I was cooking the peppers and onions I thought dang I need to make some fajitas 😂. Im going to do your recipe but in the wok. The tossing in the wok is very satisfying.
Hey, I got the Wokmon doodad and it really works on my gas stove to concentrate the flame towards the center of the wok..
theres a peruvian dish called "lomo saltado" wich is basically right in the middle between a chinese stir-fry and a fajita dish, its also perfect for a wok lol
Cooking for picky people: no onions, peppers or garlic. Added shredded cheese, canned refried beans and a flour tortilla shell. They loved it. Thank you! You had me at Lawry’s season salt.
Nice, I haven't had fajitas in years & that really puts me in the mood.
Funny you linking them with the gym. I associate certain dishes with certain parts of my life & fajitas are around 1999 to 2005. I was at the peak of my fitness ever, either at the gym, climbing or mountain biking every day & the girl I was living with just loved fajitas; would have had me cook them for her every day. Mexican food wasn't really a thing here yet but fajitas were the tip of the spear for it coming in. Great food as its healthy [or can be] good dose of protein & good veg. But oddly I've never had/made them since. They looked good though, may dip my toe back into the fajita pool again this week. Cheers for the inspiration.
Good luck with the gym.
A weeknighting version of the classic bro chicken breast would be amazing!!
omg I love you Brian!
😎🤙🏻
Just so damn concise every time. Watched enough you tube chefs over enough years now to know that the actual palette of the chef matters in the recipe they provide and I think this channel should be the most widely loved for the exact consensus type reasoning you bring to the presented recipes consideration. Now how do we tell the you tube algorithm that? 😂😂
We love you, Brian.

I'd love to see a chicken version of this some day
I'll be making these tonight except I'll be using the tortillas I made from my sourdough discard. Headed to the butcher now!!
I might give this a go once I'm out of the hospital
