Instructions

Add all ingredients in the Instant Pot. Stir well.

Close your Instant Pot lid by twisting it on and closing the valve by pushing it away from you.

Set your Instant Pot to High Pressure for 4 minutes. Allow it to release naturally.

Once the pressure has completely released, stir the fajitas once more. You can eat by itself for a low carb meal, or one a tortilla shell topped with sour cream, cheese, cilantro, and more! Enjoy!

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.
