Steak Fajita Salad with Chipotle Lime Marinade

Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Paleo

Steak Fajita Salad

I recently had the pleasure of joining Stacy of  Paleo Parents & Sarah from The Paleo Mom on their podcast, The Paleo View. It aired last Friday, but I finally listened to it today. I was really afraid to listen to it… you know how it’s so strange to hear yourself talk? I didn’t listen to it on Friday because if I sounded terrible or really nervous it would have ruined my entire weekend. I finally got enough courage to listen to it, after my friend Lisa emailed me to let me know that she already heard it and that I sounded great! Thank you, Lisa! I tuned in during my morning commute, and it was such a great episode, the 75 minutes in the car flew by! I had such a great time chatting with these 2 smart ladies about breastfeeding and first foods. I don’t know how I would get through this commute every week without all the awesome paleo podcasts!

Now, to our recipe… I used grass-fed Custom Cut Carne Asada from TX Organics for this recipe, but skirt steak will work well too!

Carne Asada Marinade

Carne Asada

Chipotle Lime Steak Marinade

Ingredients
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup coconut aminos
1/4 cup olive oil
juice of 2 limes
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 an onion, diced
1 jalapeno, diced
3 dried chipotle chili peppers, chopped
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

  1. Rehydrate chipotle peppers: Split the chilies open and remove the seeds. Place in a bowl and cover with warm water. Keep covered for 30 minutes. While peppers are rehydrating prepare the rest of your ingredients.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together all of the marinade ingredients including the chipotle peppers.
  3. Place beef in a glass storage bowl and pour marinade over it.
  4. Allow to marinate for 3 hours to overnight in the refridgerator.
  5. Remove steak from the marinade, leave peppers and onions behind.
  6. Grill to desired wellness.

*Note: My husband reduced the leftover marinade until it turned pretty thick and he served it on the side. It was very flavorful!
