1 tsp grated lime rind
2 1/2 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper

2 lbs flank steak
2 red bell peppers, sliced
2 yellow/orange bell peppers, sliced
1 large sweet onion, sliced
cooking spray

To prepare marinade, combine first 10 ingredients in a large bowl, set aside.
To prepare fajita's: trim fat from steak, score a diamond pattern on both sides of steak. Combine 1 1/2 cups marinade and steak in large zip lock bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 4 hrs or overnight, turning occasionally. Combine remaining marinade, bell peppers, and onion in a zip lock bag, seal and marinate 4 hrs or over night, turning occasionally.

Remove steak from bag, discarding marinade. Remove vegetables from bag, reserving marinade. Place the reserved marinade in a small saucepan, and set aside. Place steak and vegetables on grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray, cook 8 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.
Wrap tortillas tightly in foil, place tortilla packet on grill rack of the last 2 min of grilling time. Bring reserved marinade to a boil. Cut steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Place the steak and vegetables on serving platter and drizzle with the reserved marinade.

That looks tasty. I really am interested in trying out the marinade. I wonder how it would do on some pork ribs.

That marinade sounds awesome on any meat. I bet it's just as good on chicken or even shrimp. Now I want fajitas!
