Boneless Pork Butt Steak Fajitas

A vibrant update to a Tex-Mex favorite, this recipe swaps traditional beef for the exceptional marbling and tenderness of Niman Ranch Pork Butt Steak. Sizzled to perfection with charred bell peppers and onions, the pork is sliced thin to soak up a smoky, citrus-forward marinade that delivers big flavor in every bite. Serve it family-style with warm tortillas and plenty of fresh lime, then top with a dollop of crema for a hearty, high-quality twist on a weeknight classic.

Ingredients

  • 1½ lbs Niman Ranch Pork Butt Steak, thinly sliced against the grain
  • 2 bell peppers, thinly sliced (any color)
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Tortillas (flour or corn)
  • Toppings of choice — sour cream, avocado, salsa, cilantro, shredded cheese, etc.

Cooking Instructions

Marinate the Steak

  • In a bowl, combine the steak, cumin, chili powder, lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Toss to coat evenly.
  • Let sit for 15–30 minutes (or refrigerate up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).

Cook the Vegetables

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the onion and bell peppers.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly charred — about 5–7 minutes.
  • Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Cook the Steak

  • In the same skillet, increase heat slightly.
  • Add the marinated steak in a single layer (cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding).
  • Sear for 1–2 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Internal temp of 145 degrees.
  • Return the peppers and onions to the pan and toss together for 1 minute to combine flavors.

Serve

  • Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
  • Fill each with steak and veggies, then top with your favorite fixings — sour cream, avocado, cilantro, salsa, or cheese.
  • Serve with extra lime wedges on the side.
