ingredients

Marinade:

4 tablespoons Kikkoman® Sushi Sauce (Unagi Tare), divided
2 tablespoons Kikkoman® Ponzu Citrus Seasoned Dressing & Sauce
2 tablespoons Kikkoman® Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 dashes Mexican hot sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Fajitas:

2 pounds skirt steak
2 green bell peppers, julienned
1 onion, thinly sliced and halved
1 to 2 seeded and thinly sliced jalapeño peppers (optional)
Vegetable oil
2 limes, juiced
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Accompaniments:

Tortillas
Refried beans
Shredded cheese
Sour cream
Pico de gallo
Salsa

directions

To prepare marinade, stir together 2 tablespoons sushi sauce, ponzu sauce, soy sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic and hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss steak with marinade; cover and chill at least 2 hours.
To cook the fajitas, heat a thin layer of oil in an iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetables to skillet and sauté until tender and slightly charred; remove from skillet.
Raise heat to high and sear steak 2 to 6 minutes per side, depending on thickness. (Thinner skirt steak will cook much faster than outer skirt steak.) Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
To serve, slice steak into thin strips; toss with sautéed peppers, onion and remaining 2 tablespoons sushi sauce. Squeeze lime juice over the top and garnish with cilantro. Serve with desired accompaniments.

THE STORY OF SOY SAUCE

Even people who love soy sauce and use it all the time are often surprised to learn what it is and how it’s made. We make ours from just four simple ingredients—water, soybeans, wheat, and salt. Those ingredients are transformed through a traditional brewing process—much like making wine or beer—that has remained unchanged for centuries.
