- In a bowl combine the oil, lime juice, garlic, lime zest, chilli, salt and pepper. Place half of the mixture in a ceramic dish with the beef cover and refrigerate for 4-8 hours; turning hourly. Refrigerate remaining marinade.
- Drain meat and discard marinade. In a cast iron or heavy frying pan heat 2 tablespoons (40 ml) olive oil over high heat. Once hot add beef, red capsicum and red onion; stir and brown slightly.
- Add the reserved marinade and reduce heat to medium. Cook and stir until beef reaches desired doneness and vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
- Add the spring onions and fresh coriander; stir and remove from heat.
- Meanwhile; heat the flour tortillas in a microwave on high for 20 seconds.
- Serve the fajitas by bringing the frying pan to the table with the tortillas and desired accompaniments. Let each person assemble their own fajitas.
