Steak Fajitas: My Host Requested - Expert Help Needed!

In summary, flank steak is the recommended cut of meat for fajitas due to its lean and flavorful qualities. However, chicken, shrimp, and tofu can also be used as alternative options. To marinate the steak, combine lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and fajita seasonings in a resealable bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Store-bought fajita seasoning can be used, but making your own allows for customization. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak is cooked to the desired temperature, with 135°F for medium-rare and 145°F for medium.

My host next week has requested steak fajitas in the dcb. Has anyone tried this? How do you do it? I am probably an expert at the chicken ones, but I'm a little clueless about what to do for steak ones. What cut of steak? How do I prep it before? Anything else get changed? Any help is appreciated.

Anyone? I'd hate to waste good steak!
 
I personally don't like how steak cooks in the microwave. I wouldn't try it. I'm thinking you would have to marinate it. You could call the test kitchens to see what they say?
 
What if you just did the veggies in the DCB, and did the steak in the grill pan?

I just don't think steak would work really well in the micro.:yuck:
