Where's the grated cheese?? Where's the Salsa Fresca? Guacomole? His beef fajita mix looks good but traditional Fajitas should have all the right accompaniments.

--RECIPE--
▪1.5lbs/.7kg Top Sirloin Roast
3:10 btw pro tip, don't place the steaks down like he did, instead place it down and away from you (towards the wall) to avoid getting potentially splashed by hot oil lol
▪250g/2 med-lrg red or orange bell peppers, julienned
▪125g/1lrg poblano, julienned
What in the white people taco nite did I just watch?
▪250g/1 white onion, sliced pole to pole
▪10-15g/4 cloves garlic
I dance too after meal prep and cook, usually have two IPAs under my belt!
▪2g or 1tsp ground cumin
▪2g or 1tsp chili powder
The meat 🍖 needs to be cooked for 1 and a half minutes more it's too rare!!!!! It tastes better when it is a little more well done!!!!!!! BRINGS OUT MORE TASTE!!!!!!!
I DON'T like ADDING IVORY SOAP TO ANY DISH, OR RECIPE, IT RUINS THE TASTE OF FOOD PARTICULARLY MEXICAN FOOD!!!!
CONSIDER USING SOMETHING THAT ENHANCES THE TASTE RATHER THAN RUINING THE TASTE WITH SATAN'S HERB 🌿!!!!!
ONE OF THE MOST DISGUSTING AND HORRIBLE INGREDIENTS EVER CULTIVATED AND HARVESTED ON THIS PLANET!!!!!!!
USE PARSLEY TO FLAVOR THE FAJITAS!!!!!! A BETTER ALTERNATIVE!!!!!!!! RATHER THAN CILANTRO!!!!!!!LEARN HOW TO COOK WITH ALTERNATIVES!!!!😊
ONE LAST THING NEEDS TO BE ADDED AT THE END BEFORE YOU TAKE A BITE AND THAT ITEM IS A DOLLOP OF SOUR CREAM OVER THE INGREDIENTS OF EACH FAJITA!!!!!!!!!! TRY IT!!!!!!!!!😊
▪2g 1tsp paprika
▪1g or 1tsp dried oregano
Just measure in grams? Spices? Seriously? NO equal measure of tsp, tbsp etc? Good recipes, good education, but without equality of measurement. forget it.
▪Lime, halved
▪1 bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped
the Ad placement was funny
▪High smoke point oil (avocado, canola, etc)
▪Salt
You made perfect fajitas
▪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.
We’ve been making these fajitas for a year now. Haven’t been back to Chili’s since. Thanks for the upgrade Brian👍
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.
If the plan is to continue to play these on the USA YouTube site, how about using measurements that our 300,000,000+ citizens understand???? Not asking for much. You use inches!! How about ounces instead of grams?
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.
Oh my gosh man. I made these tonight and holy moly they are good!!

I was introduced to fajitas when living in TX.... Those Tex mex style are the absolute best! I then moved to CA so every restaurants style was like this example, and i was so disappointed. Not even close to TEX Mex fajitas - this style to me is more like a chinese wok dish

When you say high smoke point oil which one do you chose ?

So I have a family member who wants some beef fajitas, and this is perfect, but I'm working on two limitations: he has no teeth, so the vegetables have to be mushy enough for him to gum, and he is adamantly against his beef being anything but well done and dead as a doornail - he grew up in a time where food safety wasn't much of a thing and you made extra sure pathogens were dead when you cooked meat. And normally I'd just not do it, but when the wife's family patriarch wants to taste one last plate of fajitas before he goes... any advice is welcome.

Bro!! BROOOOO! In the midst of eating these and they are so freaking good. So excited to make these for the SO.
@jayinjapanCilantro tastes like soap... I'll pass
@Mr_Timi1Omg 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!!!
@ervinfowlkes8326Poblano are the absolute best for e🌷🌷🌷
@NancyRemlingalways 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
@cringefindergeneralThis series is such a goldmine. I tried the Chicken Caesar salad which turned out great. Gonna try this next.
@bossi_playsBri 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!
@shaneduval8652I 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
@RayvenFEI 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!
@tonkaGuy888great video
@gooncitytvfl4979It’s sooooooo frustrating to pay a premium to YouTube so I don’t have to watch commercials, but then the content creator makes a f#%^*+= commercial.
Love the videos. Hate the product placement.
Boo
I JUST made these and OH MY GOSH these were super fast to prepare! Definitely gonna make these again!
@dimilton3166My only advice is to pull your feet inward and closer to the bench when youre bench pressing weight. You want your legs to act like a crowbar (pushing into the ground at an acute angle, giving your upper body more leverage).
@catcontentGreat video. This is much easier than my approach, which involves grilling flank steak. I'm in your area and sirloin is definitely cheaper.
@purleybakerNeeds chorizo homie!
@bobbrossifyMade these tonight for dinner. They turned out wonderful! ❤
@kimcasillas4886Unsubbed. Fajitas are skirt steak period.
@godslayer1415I'll be making these tonight except I'll be using the tortillas I made from my sourdough discard. Headed to the butcher now!!
@hdxg750I can assume the beef can be substituted with chicken
@SpirusTheVirusTy for this amazing recipe! We made a super easy, low calorie chipotle aioli to go with it. I put up a video on our channel if anyone needs the recipe.
@JustinBauerThis looks soooo good 🤤
@marissasantDelicious
@ekureedafedaniel2622You are doing a great job! Keep it up
@scallen84Hey Bri, where's this plate from (timestamp 3:52) - the raised edges are dope!
@jamesmarron6738Great cook on the steak! you didn't even use a thermometer
@EDM3003Brain, i love you!
@splendornieba1109Me too. My favourite too
