what's up guys it's susie from heygrillhey.com today i'm bringing you
another awesome recipe these are my cheesy fajita
steak roll-ups you are going to dig them they are total crowd pleasers
and i don't want to do this very often but these are actually pretty
diet friendly they're delicious i promise
let's do it
for a cheesy steak fajita roll-ups we're going to start with the steak and we're
going to make a really delicious marinade but first let's talk about the
meat so when you're going to the grocery
store you want to pick out those beautiful
really thin sliced pieces of steak sometimes they're sirloin
steaks today we ended up with a top round that was sliced really really thin
and i also found these chuck eye steaks that looked absolutely
beautiful sliced thin you'll need about eight pieces because
we're gonna make eight fajita steak roll-ups so i got two different cuts of
meat but both sliced really thin they're going to be absolutely perfect
and now we need to make our marinade this is a super simple marinade it
actually has no sugar added but a ton of flavor we've got a half a cup of
fresh squeezed lime juice to that i'm going to add a quarter cup of olive oil
six cloves of minced garlic
and then our seasoning blend which is simply two teaspoons of salt
two teaspoons of chili powder a teaspoon of cumin a teaspoon of black
pepper and a half a teaspoon of cayenne powder
twist that all together like i said at the beginning of the video
this recipe is pretty diet friendly there's no sugar in here
and the only thing that you may want to pass on is the cheese later on if you
don't eat cheese but otherwise this is great for you guys
on keto this is great for people on paleo
and if you do skip the cheese it works for like whole 30 too
take your steaks super thinly sliced get them into the bag and as you're
putting them in i do recommend taking the time
to separate each piece of meat instead of just putting in the whole package
because you want that marinade and that seasoning
to get on all sides of the steak and when they're all stuck together
that's not gonna happen so take the extra second to spread them
out
okay steaks are in just simply add your marinade to the bag
press out as much air as you can and then massage the marinade
so that it gets in between each of those thin little layers of meat that we have
in there and then you're going to want to stick
this in the refrigerator you want this to refrigerate for
at least two hours you can go up to four hours you can even go eight hours or
overnight if that works best for you
our marinated meat is out of the fridge that means we're ready for
our next step in these fajita roll-ups and i don't think fajitas would be
fajitas without that yummy mix of peppers and onions so i have a green
bell pepper a red bell pepper and a yellow onion that have been thinly
sliced and put in a grill basket and these are just going to go on our
grill that's been prepared over about this is about 400 to 450
degree grill and these are just going to go right
over the coals
now we're gonna let those cook for about five to seven minutes while we prep
our next step for the fajita roll-up we're gonna take our steak
out of the marinade lay it out flat on a large work surface i like just using a
cookie sheet and then we're going to sprinkle a
little bit of colby jack cheese that i have shredded onto each piece of steak
oh yes that already smells amazing all the garlic that's in there
the lime and then all those yummy fajitas spices
and seasonings that we put in with the marinade
these are gonna be so great
camera guy todd coming in clutch with the backup
sheet pan start with two cookie sheets we're gonna get all of our steak
out here so that it gives us a nice even space to work with
and then i kind of am starting to smell these onions so we're gonna give these a
quick stir all right give these a quick stir oh
yeah we're starting to pick up some color on the peppers and the onions
and then one little bonus trick is i'm going to take some of this
marinade and actually pour it over our vegetables as they're
cooking it's gonna season the peppers it's gonna season the onion
and we don't have to worry about raw meat juices because it's cooking over a
400 degree fire so everything's gonna cook off
and it's gonna add some really nice delicious flavor to these vegetables
okay ready all right close up the lid let those go for a few
more minutes while i get the rest of our steak ready
so we're just going to take some of our shredded cheese
and make a little bit of pile on kind of the thicker
end of each of our steak so on the chuck eye steaks they get kind of thicker on
one end that's where i'm going to pile up my cheese
and then the veggies are going to go on top of that
it's going extra i had a little extra cheese
i mean it's if you do too much it'll spill out a little bit but i'm just such
a sucker for cheese okay vegetables smell good they've been
on long enough i think we still want them to have a little bit
of a texture and a little bit of crunch to them
give them another stir you can smell the garlic from the marinade you're getting
all of those aromatic oniony flavors i'm gonna pull those off of the direct
heat onto the indirect heat and then i'm just gonna grab a tong
full of my peppers and just nestle them right
on top of the cheese that i put down on top of the thick part of our steak
make sure you get a good mix of onions and peppers inside each one of your
pieces of steak now we gotta wrap up each of our steak roll-ups
to make sure we get all those peppers and onions and cheesy delicious goodness
inside of each steak so have your toothpicks handy
and just start rolling rolling rolling and then secure i would say with
two toothpicks on each roll up and remember how many
toothpicks you use for roll-up because you don't want to forget to take them
out at the end and then you have friends who are eating toothpicks
instead of delicious crunchy peppers and onions so these
cheesy fajita steak roll-ups were actually one of the first recipes that i
ever posted when i started hey grill hey and at the
time todd was kind of on this no sugar
challenge kick and so i had to come up with a recipe
that he could eat that didn't have any added sugar but still
brought all the delicious flavor and he is a sucker for
anything mexican fajitas burritos tacos you name it so i was trying to go low
carb and low sugar and this is what we came up with and it
has turned out to be one of our family's favorite things um and i think this is
one of the things that i see the most from people making and like
tagging on social media or they're sharing them in barbecue and grilling
groups because they're really accessible but they're
really fun and they kind of make the idea of
eating a little bit healthy exciting and not necessarily
boring so this is one i definitely recommend you give
a full try
my rolls are all rolled i'm gonna go wash my hands and then we'll get these
on the grill we've got our grill rolling at about 400
to 450 degrees fahrenheit i'm running on charcoal today but these
work well on gas you can do these on your pellet grill
um super duper versatile
these are going to take about 10 to 12 minutes to cook
i like to rotate them on the grill about every two minutes so two to three
minutes per side you're going to rotate them four times
you get that nice caramelized char from the grill all the
way around
fajita roll-ups are looking amazing they're smelling amazing
and they are ready to come off the grill
oh i love that this little cheese oozing out the sides
all the veggies have that nice crispy char from the grill on the ends of them
these are going to be absolutely delicious
so these are perfect to eat as is remember please
please remember to take out the toothpicks before you serve them to
people remember we put in two per roll up and i don't want you to forget
and feed somebody toothpicks because that would be bad
but pull the toothpicks out and then these are good to eat just as
is next to some beans or some rice or i guess some cauliflower rice if
you're sticking with that whole low carb thing or whatever um you can also wrap
them up in a tortilla like a fajita you can just lean over the cutting board
and eat them like an animal like i intend to do
or you can top them with some salsa a squeeze of fresh lime
maybe a little cilantro i'm gonna put some salsa on top of mine
all the fixings also would be awesome with guacamole
or some sliced avocados anything that you would put on fajitas or tacos
would be awesome on these cheesy fajita roll-ups
a little extra cilantro on this one because i love cilantro
and then i get to cut it open and show you guys what they look like on the
inside
yummy meat all those veggies and this delicious milk and cheese
i love the lime in the marinade that's really coming through straight off the
bat and then you get the sweetness from those roasted onions and the
bell peppers and then the creaminess from the cheese
literally all the flavors that you love in a fajita
hot off the grill absolutely delicious i'm just going to keep eating these
super easy weeknight dinner man i can think of a million ways to
dress these up dress these down enjoy them just as
they are i hope you guys give this recipe a try if you do use the hashtag
