Ingredients

2 tsp Smoked paprika

1½ tbsp Olive oil
2 cloves Garlic, chopped

1 Green chilli, deseeded and finely diced

Method
- Place Beef strips into a bowl with the smoked paprika, cayenne pepper and 1 tbsp of olive oil and toss to coat. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.
- Preheat a large heavy-based frying pan to moderately hot and cook the Beef for 2 minutes in 3 batches until browned. Set the Beef aside.
- Add the remaining olive oil along with the garlic, red onion and capsicum and cook for 3 minutes, stirring regularly. Return the Beef and any juices back to the pan and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve with the corn, salsa, tortillas, lime wedges and lettuce.
- To make the salsa: Place all of the salsa ingredients into a bowl and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Tips
- If you would like to use flank or skirt steak and can't find it ask your butcher if they can source it for you.
- If using oyster blade remove the line of gristle running down the centre of the steak.
- The fajita mix can be cooked on a flat barbeque plate.
- Create a milder dish by omitting the cayenne pepper and green chilli.
