Fajitas, one of my favorite foods. I love making them in the Instant Pot. I am very busy during the week and work a lot of hours. If you are a busy person, you really need to invest

in purchasing an Instant Pot. I am so glad I did. Making quick and easy meals is essential when your time is limited. I like visiting the Instant Pot recipe groups on Facebook. You can find

delicious recipes to try that will please the entire family. I like experimenting and changing up recipes to my liking. This recipe uses flank steak, that is seasoned perfectly. Now on to the recipe…

You will need a Sous vide bag for this recipe. Combine the olive oil, spices and lime juice in a small bowl. Pour mixture into the bag and add the flank steak, turning it in the bag several times to thoroughly coat.

Lay the cilantro across the top of the steak, and seal the bag. It’s important here to remove as much air as possible. Vacuum sealing is preferred, but not necessary as you can also use the water displacement method. To do this, slowly lower the bag into the water, keeping the open top above the surface. The water pressure will force the air out of the bag, allowing you to seal it once removed.

For the peppers and onions:

1. Slice the peppers into strips.

2. Halve the onions, and cut to similar size as the pepper strips, breaking apart any larger chunks that stick together.

3. Toss the veggie strips in a large bowl with the olive oil, add to another Sous vide bag, and seal. For this step more than with the steak, vacuum sealing is preferred. If that isn’t an option, you can add a scant 1/2 to 3/4 cup of chicken broth to the veggies, allowing you to use the water displacement method to effectively remove the air.

Submerge both bags in the Instant Pot, close the lid, and set for 2 hours.

Just before done, preheat your broiler. Once finished, carefully remove both bags and pat dry. Using a broiler pan, or similar sheet, cut open the veggies -discarding the broth if used -and spread them evenly over the pan, leaving room for the steak. Remove the steak, discard the cilantro, and place next to the veggies. Broil for approximately 2-4 minutes or until just starting to brown and char, turn the steak, mix the veggies with tongs, and broil for another couple minutes.

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
