This recipe comes from the mind of my girlfriend. She’s brilliant in the kitchen and 1/3rd the reason that I have the shape I do.

Our Sol Cerveza Fajitas are a great addition to the end of your hard day at work or for having some friends over for a barbeque. These fajitas taste lightly of Sol and are simply delicious. Great to fill up on and wash down with the remaining beers!

This recipe makes enough for two large Fajitas each leaving enough for lunch the next day.

Ingredients:

1 large grilling steak whole if grilling on the BBQ cut in to ½ cm strips if roasting in the oven.
1/2 sweet onion sliced
2 Cloves of minced garlic
1/2-1 tsp Red Chili Flakes
1/2 tsp of Salt
1/2 tsp of Pepper
Juice of 2 limes
3/4 of a bottle of Sol Cerveza
1 Jalapeño Pepper
1/2 Green Pepper
1/2 Red Pepper
1/2 Yellow Pepper

• Put the steak, onion, garlic chili flakes, salt, pepper and lime juice in to a Ziploc bag and fill with beer. Remove all the air from the bag and mush it all around to cover and place in a bowl in the fridge (incase of leakage) for 1/2 hour to 3 hours. Add a small amount of lime or lime juice to the remaining beer and pass to the closest Thirsty Mate.
• Pre heat your grill or if using an oven a cast iron skillet to 500 degrees and let the skillet heat up for at least 20 minutes.
• If your skillet is large enough or you’re using the barbeque you can combine the next two steps. Add a pinch of salt to the skillet and one tsp of olive or vegetable oil for lubrication add the peppers and return to the oven for 5min or until cooked but not soft. If using the barbeque grill to the same perfection then set aside.
• Add the steak to the skillet once it’s had a chance to heat back up in the oven and roast till med rare (or well done if you’re crazy)
• Add peppers to skillet and toss. Return to oven till all is nice and hot and ready to serve.

Serve on large tortillas with cheese, sour cream, salsa and the remainders of the six pack of Sol Cerveza. Don’t forget to add any remaining lime to the beers!

Hint: Cut your slices of lime thin enough to slip back out of the bottle when you’re done your beer so that it’s less messy at the beer store and they won’t attract any fruit flies in a few days time.

Sol beer is clear and pours with little to no head. Although is best enjoyed outside from the bottle with a slice of lime. Coming form a brewery near Mexico City called “El Salto Del Agua” (the water fall). During it’s conception the German brew master noticed that a ray of sunshine fell in to the brewing pot and the name was born. In the beginning it was marketed to the working class because it was much more refreshing than the traditionally heavy European style beers available at the time.
