Bell peppers add sweetness without the heat.

Prepare the marinade in a bag by adding Worcestershire sauce and a couple tablespoons of hot sauce.

Add fresh garlic, half a palmful of granulated onion, one palmful each of oregano, cumin, coriander, and chili powder to the marinade.

Pour in about a quarter to a third of a cup of olive oil and mix well.

Add sliced lime or lime juice to the marinade and then add the six-ounce strip steaks into the bag.

Marinate the beef, peppers, and onions, and place them in a high-temperature oven.

Bake for 15 minutes, then broil for the last 5 minutes, flipping once midway through cooking.

Prepare pico de gallo by chopping half a jalapeno, grating garlic, finely chopping half a red onion, and dicing seeded tomato.

Mix the chopped ingredients with salt to release their juices, then add diced seeded tomatoes and cilantro.

For chimichurri, combine a whole bunch of flat parsley, half a bunch of cilantro, half a red onion or large shallot, one chili pepper, and a couple of cloves of garlic in a food processor.

Add half a palmful of sweet smoked paprika, salt, pepper, lime juice, sherry vinegar, and about a quarter to a third of a cup of olive oil to the food processor and blend until combined.

Char the tortillas on the stove or in the oven.

Serve the fajitas by piling the marinated meat and vegetables into the tortillas, adding Cotija or queso fresco cheese, chimichurri, avocado, and pico de gallo, along with pickled jalapeno pepper rings.
