Frajitas - Beef or Chicken

1.5-2 lbs flat steak, or other beef or chicken easily cut into strips
15 medium scallions (green onions)
2 large Bell peppers, sliced - two different colors is nice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup lime juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons oil


Combine soy sauce, lime juice, chili powder, and oil. If grilling, save a couple of tablespoons aside to toss with the vegetables.

Slice the meat into about 1/2 inch slices.

If cooking in a skillet, marinate everything together in a bowl or plastic bag (a zip-type works well). If grilling, marinate the meat and veggies separately. Few minutes to several hours.

If grilling, remove from marinade and grill.

For cooking in a skillet cook the meat first Add a little oil to the skillet and get it very hot. If you don't get it hot enough the meat will steam instead of browning.

When the meat is browned, remove and add veggies. When they begin to soften, return meat to skillet to heat through.

Serve with salsa, sour cream, cilantro and guacamole.

Serves 5.
