Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Slice Against the Grain 🔪
    Always slice skirt steak against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness and easy chewing in your fajitas.
  • Pepper Prep Perfection 🌶️
    Cut bell peppers into uniform 1/4-inch strips to ensure even cooking and consistent texture in your Instant Pot.
  • Seasoning Secret Weapon 🌯
    Create a homemade fajita seasoning blend with equal parts chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and a pinch of cayenne for deeper flavor complexity.
  • Liquid Magic 💧
    Use beef broth instead of water to add an extra layer of rich, savory flavor to your Instant Pot fajita liquid base.
  • Quick Release Technique 🚀
    Perform a quick pressure release to prevent overcooking the steak and maintain its juicy, tender texture.
