Keto Beef Fajita Sheet Pan
The whole family can enjoy this Keto fajita sheet pan meal made with skirt steak. There isn’t much more to it: just fajita steak and bell peppers. Prepare the steak in advance so it has time to marinade in a heavily seasoned dry rub with the peppers. Then, simply transfer the steak and peppers to a sheet tray, place in your oven, and let the oven do all the hard work for you. Simply slice and serve! If you’re meal prepping, you can keep the fajita beef and peppers as is, then just add a Low Carb side dish to make a complete meal. For a fun family-style dinner, serve the steak and peppers with Keto tortillas and your favorite toppings. On a Keto diet, your toppings might include guacamole, sour cream, or shredded cheese.
How to enjoy Keto fajitas
In its simplest form, you can enjoy this Keto sheet pan meal as is. Eat strips of steak and peppers with a fork, and add more fat to the meal if you desire. For example, you could add a Keto cheese sauce to your beef fajitas. Otherwise, you can place the fajitas in either store-bought or homemade Keto tortillas. For a healthier alternative, add the fajita beef on top of a salad with a high-fat dressing.

Step 1
Expand a whole piece of skirt steak into a single layer on a flat surface, then pour the olive oil all over the top of the steak. Use your hand to rub the olive oil into all the flesh and crevices of the meat, then wash your hands. Blend together all of the seasoned salt, paprika, chili powder, onion powder, and cumin. Rub all the spice blend into the tenderized meat.Step 2
Transfer the seasoned skirt steak to a large Ziploc bag. Thin-slice both green and red bell peppers before adding them to the bag as well. Seal the bag and move the peppers around a little to pick up some of the extra spices. Marinate the steak and peppers ideally for 6 hours in your refrigerator.Step 3
After marinating, turn on your oven to preheat to 400 F (210 C). Grab a large sheet tray and spray it with a light layer of pan spray. Add the steak and peppers from the bag to the sheet tray, and move the peppers to the outer edges. Cook the tray of steak and peppers in the oven for at least 25 minutes.Step 4
Allow the sheet tray of steak and peppers to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing into it. Slice the skirt steak into thin slices for fajitas, tacos, or eating as is. The beef fajita tastes great with a squeeze of lime juice or chopped fresh cilantro.
