Keto Steak Fajitas

If you’re a regular reader here, then you know that our family really loves the flavor profile of Mexican cuisine, so of course, when keto steak fajitas are being served, there aren’t any leftovers. 

The juicy slices of marinated steak, multicolored bell peppers, and onions seasoned with bold fajita flavors make a mouth-watering meal any day of the week.

It’s so quick and easy that it can be a weekday staple, but so delicious that it’s also perfect for special occasions!

With just a little prep work, you can have restaurant-style Mexican food at home, minus the carbs but with all the flavor!

Are Steak Fajitas Keto-Friendly?

Steak fajitas can definitely be keto-friendly if you season them with homemade fajita seasoning and serve them with keto tortillas, cauliflower rice, or wrapped in lettuce or even a bed of greens as a salad.

The key to keeping the carbs low is not serving them with traditional tortillas but with low-carb options. You should also opt out of the refried beans, which have too many carbs.

Keto fajitas can be a delicious keto option even when dining out; just request to leave out the high-carb sides, and you’ll be a happy camper.

We also like to ask for extra guacamole for more of the good fat that keeps us satiated longer! Remember that there will likely be some hidden carbs in the fajita seasoning when ordering from a restaurant.

How To Make Low Carb Steak Fajitas

Once your steak is sliced and generously tossed with our keto-friendly fajitas seasoning and lime juice for rich Mexican flavors, you can even let it marinate for up to 4 hours if you are looking for a way to save time.

However, the low-carb fajita seasoning is so rich in flavor that you could also just season it right before cooking. Either way, the keto fajitas will be bursting with flavor.

Cook the strips of steak over medium-high heat in a large skillet that is lightly coated with your choice of oil. I used avocado oil. Cook for just a few minutes on each side, ensuring a nice sear on the steaks!

I like to sauté the combination of sliced red, orange, yellow, and green bell peppers and onions in the skillet where the steaks are cooked. Once again, make sure to get a nice sear on the peppers and onions!

The peppers become slightly charred around the edges, and the onions caramelize in the steak’s juices.

Then serve with your choice of low-carb tortillas, lettuce wraps, or a bed of greens, and, of course, all of the fixings! Guacamole, sour cream, cheese, pico de gallo, or keto salsa are all the classics.

Best Cuts of Steak For Keto Fajitas

If you’re wondering what types of steak to use for fajitas, I’ve got you covered!

The most popular cuts of steak for fajitas are flank and skirt. Both are excellent choices, easily sliced into strips, and true to the classic dish.

This doesn’t mean that you can’t use other cuts of steak; in fact, my favorite to use is ribeye! 

The ribeye is perfect for keto fajitas because it’s a fatty cut that is perfect for a ketogenic diet! The fat is where all the flavor is, too!

If you don’t like a lot of fat on your meat, then flank steak would be the best choice for you. Sirloin tips are also a great option for fajitas!

Often, you’ll find at the grocery store specific cuts already labeled as fajita steak, which is helpful in identifying which to buy.
