Bowls are totally my thing right now. Mainly because they make it stupidly easy to finish off all the little leftovers in the refrigerator in one easy swoop. I mean everything kinda just meshes together perfectly when you pretend that it was intended to be there way, right? I meant to use the leftover grilled corn from the dinner party we had on Sunday. I meant to use the leftover peppers from that night that we made gumbo in this fajita bowl. See what I mean?
These steak fajita bowls are a spin off from my steak fajita recipe which you guys made and LOVED. And let’s face it, sometimes a bowl is a little more practical than shoving tacos into your face at lunch time. And so for times like these, I give you my beloved fajita bowls.
The marinade uses lime juice, worcestershire sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, seasonings, and one special ingredient that you’ll only find in the BEST steak fajita marinades… pineapple juice. Yes, friends. Pineapple juice acts as a tenderizer that allows the meat to just mellow out and be super tender on the inside.
