    Honestly dude you've become my favorite cooking youtuber lately. Dudes like adam ragusea and ethan chlebowski are amazing too but I don't have the time to do half the recipes they show and your weeknighting videos are actually plausible for me. Not to mention the vibes are just right

    is there a reason you don’t marinate the meat prior to cooking? I’ve never seen seasoning/spices added to the pepper onion mix and not the beef. Curious about your opinion on the method.

    OMG Bri, we're like having the same thought process. Sirloin is like 3.99 a pound here in LA, flank is 8.99. I bought the flank and made beef chow mein with peppers and onions from Kenjis the Wok (fire recipe btw). While I was cooking the peppers and onions I thought dang I need to make some fajitas 😂. Im going to do your recipe but in the wok. The tossing in the wok is very satisfying.

    PAN FACTS: do not "discount" Kohls or Food Network branded stuff. My mom got me a 14" Bobby Flay branded cast iron skillet at Kohl's on clearance. It ROCKS. I own many cast iron pans, dating back to the 1930s from my grandmother. This Flay branded pan is outstanding, super heavy, super nonstick once seasoned. And odd fact: it is a really big pan, awkward to store with it the handle. Recently I accidentally dropped it on my concrete patio. The long handle broke about two inches from the pan edge; so now it has the factory U handle on the other side, a nub where the handle broke. Works even better because this pan is far to heavy ever to toss or otherwise use a long handle. Troll Kohl's cooking stuff, great deals on good stuff.

    Here in NM most restaurants will serve this on a cast iron dish. Unless you specify, they will drop a little water on it before bringing it out and you can follow the steam blast from kitchen to table. It sounds (and smells) great, and works as advertising. Unfortunately, to often it’s all done with poor ingredients. This looks great!

    Nice, I haven't had fajitas in years & that really puts me in the mood.
    Funny you linking them with the gym. I associate certain dishes with certain parts of my life & fajitas are around 1999 to 2005. I was at the peak of my fitness ever, either at the gym, climbing or mountain biking every day & the girl I was living with just loved fajitas; would have had me cook them for her every day. Mexican food wasn't really a thing here yet but fajitas were the tip of the spear for it coming in. Great food as its healthy [or can be] good dose of protein & good veg. But oddly I've never had/made them since. They looked good though, may dip my toe back into the fajita pool again this week. Cheers for the inspiration.
    Good luck with the gym.

  • @MrJacobThrall
    @MrJacobThrall 2 года назад

    Alert for Brits: for those of you who don't know, American and British butchery conventions are different! Beware! Some American cuts of meat just don't exist in the UK, and vice versa...but more to the point, the same name can mean different things.
    If you use a nice big piece of (British) sirloin to sizzle up for fajitas then I'm sure you'll enjoy it, but you're going to get horrible stabbing pains in your wallet: what you're looking for, really, is rump. One of my local butchers does "rump fillet" (in some places called "point steak"): rump steak, at normal rump steak price, but more tender - gives great results when cooked like this.
    Oh, and cilantro: that's coriander.

    Traditionally, I buy my beef at the State Fair on the hoof - usually about a half ton of Angus. Last year I got away with paying $4.00 a pound live weight The cost to have the animal slaughtered is $200 for a whole, payable directly to the rancher or farmer. who's selling some of his stock at the fair The cost to have the meat aged, cut, wrapped and frozen so it's ready to take home is $1.40 per pound hanging weight. Before the cow goes to slaughter, I usually have someone take my picture posing and smiling while standing next to the heifer. Years and years of these photos are proudly framed and hanging on the basement wall above my double deep freezer which sits right next to my "grinding station." which includes a vintage hand crank specially curated Weston model I bought on eBay.

    @jeremiahmiller6431 11 месяцев назад

    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.
