Recipe for Flank Steak Fajitas with Chimichurri
Ingredients:
- 1 Campo Grande Flank Steak
- 3 flour tortillas
- 3 ½ Tablespoons mozzarella cheese, grated
- 3 ½ Tablespoons. cheddar cheese, grated
- 7 Tablespoons goat cheese
- 7 Tablespoons brie cheese
- Fajita seasoning rub (or your preferred seasoning)
- 3 Tablespoons Chimichurri sauce
Instructions:

- Grill the Steak: Cook the steak on the grill for about 2 minutes per side over high heat, at around 350-400°F (175-200°C). You can also cook it on a griddle at the same temperature and time. However, grilling it over charcoal or on a grill adds a special smoky flavor to the meat.
- Prepare the Cheeses and Tortillas: While the steak is cooking, cut the goat cheese and brie into slices. Heat the tortillas on the grill until they are lightly browned on both sides.
- Rest and Slice the Steak: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for about 5 minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
- Assemble the Fajitas: To assemble each fajita, place the sliced steak on the tortilla. Add the four cheeses: mozzarella, brie, goat cheese, and cheddar. Finish with a tablespoon of chimichurri sauce.
- Heat and Serve: Heat the assembled fajitas on the grill until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious fajitas!
