Flank steak.
This is my 2nd attempt at flank steak and I am very pleased with the results. I splashed it with alegro steak marinade. Just a little bit!!! Then seasoned with a garlic and coarse salt mixture and fresh ground black pepper. I tossed some bell peppers and onion with a fajita dry powder mix from McCormick and some oil and cooked them down in a boiler. I liked the flavors and all but I wish I knew how to get that mexican restaurant fajita taste. I would love to learn how to reproduce that.

Re: Flank steak.
This has long been our house favorite:
Lupe’s Fajitas
Ingredients
• 2 lb Flank Steak (we substituted for skirt steak because we like flank better)
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
• 4 tbsp Tequila
• 4 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
• 1 tbsp Salt
• 2 tsps Cumin
• 1 large white onion
• 2 Red and yellow bell peppers
Method
1. Place meat into a gallon baggie
2. Mix lime juice, garlic, cumin, tequila, salt and oil
3. Pour over meat and marinade for at least 4 hours, flipping once
4. Heat cast iron skillet to medium high
5. Cut onion into rings and peppers into strips
6. Cook steak 9 minutes per side
7. Remove steak, cut against the grain, return to skillet for another 1-2 minutes to finish
8. Remove steak, keep warm, and cook onions and peppers in the grease. Add oil if needed.
Add meat and vegetables to warm flour tortillas. Top with your favorite toppings such as guacamole, salsa, cheese, or sour cream.
Maybe this is the flavor you're looking for. Lupe is a highly rated Mexican Restaurant in Houston.

Re: Flank steak.
Hey Justin lookin’ good!
This cut is your perfect opportunity to use the sous vide machine. Sous vide then sear either on a hot grill or cast iron skillet. Comes out fantastic

I'm really not liking the sous vide machine. I know everything has a learning curve though. I will give it a few more tries before I shelve it.
