not the kind of flavor i was expecting. i prefer sweating the garlic, instead of adding it to the bell peppers at the end. i picked the garlic out because it was too strong when raw.

This is the best recipe I have ever had. No one knows it is Emerils, they just think it is my special recipe! Friends and family always ask me to bring my fajita where ever we are! Thank you Emeril!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!




The best fajita marinade I've ever tried!!

I have used several different recipes for fajita marinade, most were good, but this one is exceptional!! Very well balanced and complex flavor created with the unique blend of spices and herbs. I substituted fresh oregano for the dry reccommended and substituted beef broth for the tequila (since I fixed it at the fire station). Everyone just loved it and it's the best I've ever made.

Made this a week ago and it turned out great. I used the same marinade for chicken and it tasted better than the steak. Major raves from my guests.

My husband and I made these fajitas for dinner. They were like being south of the border. We made the sauce from the pork dish as a topping. What a GREAT meal. It is now one of our favorites!

Excellent. I use the same marinade for chicken and cook it on the grill longer on a lower fire. The whole family loves it.

Excellent tequila taste. Add a bit more fresh pepper just prior to grilling for a real treat. Use authentic Mexican spices if available. Also you can freeze it ahead of time and then thaw and grill. Makes it even more tender!! Mouy Delicioso!!




The Best Ever

These fajitas are better than any that I have ever had in any Houston restaurant. Instead of using bell peppers, I roasted a poblano pepper. It was scrumptious. My husband does not usually have much to do with the onions on restaurant fajitas and he loved these. Emeril wins again!

I've used this recipe so many times I thought I should rate it!! I've used it with chicken and just about any beef that's on sale and it always turns out great! Everyone always loves them and I've passed it on lots of times!




Great as Always

This recipe works equally well by just throwing everything into a crock pot and letting it simmer on low for 8-10 hours. A really great mix of flavors!




easy and good

My guests and myself really enjoyed this receipt - my husband not so much. I love garlic but I would probably use a little less next time. I tossed in some chicken breasts along with the flank steak to marinate which worked out equally well. Infact, this marinate would be good for lots of things.




No Bad...not great

Emeril's Beef Fajitas

User: Mitch from Herndon, VA    User Rating:
I made these for my cousins and their kids and was worried that the recipe might be too spicy, so I also barbecued some less spicy beef as an alternative. Was I wrong! Guess who's beef was gobbled up and who's was left over? This recipe is fabulous, and was an instant hit in our family. Can't wait to make it again. I added a tablespoon of lime juice to the veggies when I was sauteeing them for a little extra flavor. Go for it. You'll love this one.




Yummy!

Excellent recipe for Fajitas. Since Mexican food is not easy to find here in Holland, I try to make a theme dinner from time to time when I am craving it. This marinade is very tasty. And I served this with Pico de Gallo and some Guacamole on the side. I also paired this recipe with Emeril's fresh and fierce Margaritas and the dinner was fabulous! Thank you Emeril.

I used skirt steak and after marinating put all juice in a pan with the meat and covered with foil. Baked until meat was tender and then put on the barbecue grill with mesquite wood chips and smoked for about 15 minutes. The meat was very tender and the flavor was wonderful. Will make this again! Thanks Emeril!!!




Delicious even without the grill

I was hoping to make some real, authentic fajitas...these were it! I marinated the steak for 24 hours and it was so tender I couldn't believe it. The onions and peppers were the best I ever had. Next time I will cut down a tad on the salt though... but they were fabulous.
