Grilled Skirt Steak Fajitas
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. This sounds very good, on my to make and taste list.

Instructions

- Place steak on grill directly over heat. Grill 4-6 minutes on each side or until 63° C (145° F) internally or to your preferred doneness.
- Remove steak to a cutting board, slice across the grain into ¼ inch thick slices.
- Divide steak among the tortillas, divide vegetable mixture among the tortillas, serve and enjoy.
Notes
Since this is using beef, and 4 servings, this is at least Fair cost per serving, and depending on where the beef is purchased, this could be a high cost per serving. I will price this more accurately when I make this.
