Special Precautions and Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to cut the steak against the grain. This will help make the meat more tender.
- If you don't have a grill pan, you can cook the fajitas in a regular skillet over medium-high heat.
- Don't overcook the steak, or it will become tough.
- Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This will help it retain its juices.
