Ingredients
  • 2 lbs grassfed round steak, cut into strips
  • 1 large or 2 medium onions, sliced long
  • 4 bell peppers of different colors, sliced long
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ - ¾ cup beer to marinade the beef (If you are yeast/beer free you can skip the marinade or coat the beef in some taco seasoning to sit overnight. Skipping the marinade turns out fine in my experience!)
  • ¼-ish cup beer for the crockpot (If you are yeast/beer free use water – it is just as good I promise!)
  • 3 TB taco seasoning (If you don’t make your own you’ll need 2 packets. See Kitchen Tips for an easy DIY taco seasoning)
  • 2 TB arrowroot for thickening
Instructions
  1. The night before you want to make the fajitas, marinate the steak strips in ¾ cup of beer. I just use a large freezer bag and keep it in the fridge over night.
  2. The next morning take the steak out of the marinade and put in the crockpot. Discard the marinade.
  3. Put the onions, garlic, peppers, and taco seasoning in the crockpot with the beef. Pour ⅓ cup of beer over the top and combine.
  4. Cook on low for 8 hours.
  5. Before serving take out about ½ cup of the liquid into a cup, and mix the arrowroot into the liquid. Pour the arrowroot liquid mixture back into the crockpot and stir in to thicken – you can turn the crockpot up to high to thicken faster.
  6. Serve with sour cream or cheese on warm soaked or sprouted tortillas OR if you are grain free, on top of a baked potato or just plain – this way is super good too!
