Fajitas

My grandparents gave us a TON of elk meat a few months ago and we're still not done using it all. Basically we've been substituting any beef for this deliciousness and we've found some pretty creative ways to do it. (Once again, I apologize for my lack of photography skills. It tastes a whole lot better than it looks. Elk meat also looks a little darker than beef steaks would)

We decided to make fajitas with some of the steak we had, and they turned out pretty good! The best part is that this marinade can be used with pretty much any meat. So if you're on a budget and can't afford steaks, chicken will go perfectly with this.

Marinade:
1/4 cup lime juice
1/3 cup water
2 Tbsp olive oil
4 cloves minced garlic
2 tsp soy sace
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp liquid smoke flavoring
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ground black pepper

You'll also need a bell pepper and an onion.

To get the most flavor into the meat, slice it up into the size of chunks you'd like BEFORE you marinade them. Let them soak in the marinade at least 3 hours (even better if you let it soak overnight).

Saute the meat in a pan on med-high heat. In a seperate pan, saute slices of bell pepper and onions.

Serve on warm flour tortillas with sour cream and/or any other toppings you'd like. (cheese, tomatoes, avacado, salsa, etc.)

All in all, this is a pretty quick recipe. Just make the marinade the night before and all you have to do is toss the meat and veggies in a hot pan, and a few minutes later you have a delicious dinner.

Happy Eating!
