These smoky skirt steak fajitas offer a sophisticated and high-protein twist on the classic Mexican-inspired favourite. By marinating the beef in a punchy blend of lime, cumin and hot smoked paprika, the meat becomes incredibly tender and infused with a deep, savoury flavour. Rather than the traditional sautéed peppers, this recipe uses charred cabbage and spring onions to provide a delightful crunch and a subtle sweetness that balances the heat of the spices perfectly.
This dish is an excellent choice for a healthy midweek meal or a relaxed weekend lunch with friends. The inclusion of grilled brassicas adds a fresh, modern element to the plate while keeping the meal light yet satisfying. Serve everything family-style in the middle of the table with warm flour tortillas, plenty of fresh coriander and a spicy chilli salsa for a balanced and nutritious homemade feast.

How to make Skirt Steak Fajitas with Grilled Cabbage and Spring onions
Purée garlic, lime juice, oil, paprika, coriander, cumin, salt, and onion powder in a blender until smooth. Transfer marinade to a resealable plastic bag and add steak. Seal bag and turn to coat; chill at least 4 hours.
DO AHEAD: Steak can be marinated 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
Prepare grill for medium-high heat. (Alternatively, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.) Drizzle cabbage, white onion, and spring onions with 4 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until vegetables are charred and softened, about 4 minutes for spring onions, 10–12 minutes for cabbage and onion. Let vegetables cool slightly.
Core cabbage and cut into bite-size pieces along with spring onions and onion. Toss chopped vegetables in a large bowl with red onion, lime juice, coriander, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper.
Remove steak from marinade, scraping off excess; season with salt and pepper. Grill steak until medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve steak with vegetables, tortillas, and Dried Chilli Salsa.
