Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon grass-fed butter ghee, or extra virgin coconut oil
  • 1/2 pound skirt steak tenderized
  • 1 teaspoon steak seasoning or salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into strips
  • 1 green bell pepper cut into strips
  • 1/2 purple onion sliced
  • 12 eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 avocado sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (~175°C).
  • In a medium or large frying pan, melt the butter.
  • Dust the skirt steak with the steak seasoning or salt and pepper.
  • When the butter is melted and bubbling, add the steak and leave it undisturbed for 5 minutes. Flip the steak and cook on the other side for an additional 5 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board while you cook the vegetables.
  • Add the chopped peppers and onion to the hot frying pan with the steak drippings. Sautée until the onions become translucent and the peppers slightly charred. Turn off the heat.
  • Chop the meat into bite-sized pieces and add back in the pan with the cooked vegetables.
  • Scramble the 12 eggs together and pour over the beef and vegetable fajitas. Stir to evenly spread the eggs throughout the mixture.
  • Bake at 350 F for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is firm.
  • Let it cool for 5 minutes, cut, and then serve with the cilantro and a couple slices of avocado for each slice.
  • Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
