Easy Sheet Pan Beef Fajitas Recipe
Is it Fajita Friday a thing? If you ask me fajitas or tacos shouldn’t be limit to a day per week. So fajitas of any kind happen a lot around here.
And honestly, when it comes to a fast midweek meal or feeding a crowd? These Easy Sheet Pan Beef Fajitas are so good and so easy.
This recipe is loaded with tender seasoned beef sirloin, which is oven-broiled on a sheet pan to perfection with a mixture of peppers and onions. It has great flavor and is happily mess-free. What else can we ask for?
You’re going to go crazy for these fajitas!!
WHAT CUT OF BEEF IS BEST FOR STEAK FAJITAS?
I used RUMBA Meats Beef Sirloin Cap Coulotte, which is also known as the petite sirloin, sirloin filet or center cut sirloin. This cut has plenty of marbling thanks to its fat cap, which lends itself to exceptional tenderness and rich, bold flavor. Perfect to make fajitas, kabobs, stew, and Picanha.
Rumba Meats products are available in Amazon, which makes my life easier. I usually buy oxtails, to make my famous Slow Cooker Oxtail Stew, hindshank, and marrow bones, to make Slow Cooker Beef Bone Broth, and now Beef Sirloin will be added to my monthly shopping list too.

BEST BEEF FAJITA MARINADE
Marinating is an important step for this recipe since it will help to break into all of those muscle fibers, tenderizes and gives loads of flavor. This is my favorite beef fajita marinade:
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- ½ cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 teaspoons garlic powder
- 3 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
In a plastic storage bag or baking dish, whisk together all ingredients of the marinade. Add beef to the marinade, cover or seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 24 hours (whatever time permits). Remove the beef from the fridge and allow to sit at room temperature for 10 – 15 minutes before cooking.
Marinade Add-ons:
Add 1 teaspoon of red chili flakes to the marinade if you like heat, and/ or
add 1/4 cup of beer to enhance the flavors even more.
How to cut beef against the grain?
To slice the beef, place it in front of you. First, find the direction of the grain, in a few words: which way the muscle fibers are aligned. Then slice across the grain, 90 degrees through the fibers, rather than parallel with it.

Birthday party tonight . Made this. Turned out really well! Got to spend time with family. I will definitely do this again.
Hello Janet – It sounds like you nailed it! Thanks so much for trying my recipe and taking the time to come back and let me know. Happy Holidays! xo
I never found what temperature to bake it at
Hello Deborah! I apologize if it was confusing to you. I use the broil setting in my oven for this recipe. If your oven does not have a broil function, you can set it at 450 – 500 °F or as high it can go. The idea is not to overcook the meat. I hope this helps! xo
A couple questions. Making this tonight. You say to put oven racks in lower third and top. When cooking veggies and meat do I use top oven rack. Also can I substitute regular top sirloin for the Rumba? Excited to try this but hope I get my answers before tonight. Thank you.
Hello Teresa! Yes, you can use a regular top sirloin and use the top rack if that works for you. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
