Keto Sheet Pan Steak, por favor!
The fajita is a Tex-Mex dish filled with little strips of meat cut from the beef skirt. As time went by, people have become creative in making signature fajitas that they’re now made with different fillings not limited to the cuts of beef skirt.
Originally, back in the 1930s, the beef skirt would be given to Mexican ranch workers (vaqueros) along with the hide, head and entrails as part of their wage for the day. They made hearty dishes with what they were given which gave rise to the evolution of fajitas as we know them today.
Pretty neat, huh?

Why so many images of same dish? All this just slows down loading site. We all know what sliced red peppers look like. Please. Stop the incessant food porn. Same goes for many other sites. Show us what cooked recipe looks like and the recipe. A few tips and maybe a video. Promote then move on. Right now your site is hung up on one of your videos. Sorry. Might have liked this.

What quantity is considered one serving for tracking purposes? How many grams or ounces please, if anyone knows. Thank you

Recipe states it serves 5. You can also use the converter inside the recipe to dial up or down how many servings you wish to make (the nutrition panel will remain the same).

What cut of steak would you recommend? Every time i buy pre-cut steak strips, they come out like leather
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
It sounds like you are cooking them for too long, I simply buy beef schnitzel or minute steaks. Both are the very thin cuts of meat.

Hello! What cut steak do you suggest best for this? I know a thinner type like flank etc. but I’ve seen in some info read while back when eating keto said some cuts grass fed beef better than others. Thank You & God Bless You! Not sure why the question for help to make a crisper crust is posted on this recipe??? But I would like know answer too! 😉

What kinds of steak work best in the sheet pan recipe?
Denise says
Can anyone give me tips on making he crust CRUNCHY and crisp? Mine came out a bit soft and soggy, but taste was fine. I rolled fairly thin and cooked on parchment on my pizza pan.
I did top with sauce and toppings as soon as it came out without letting it cool.
Thanks in advance! Will make again with some suggestions for a crispier crust!

You forgot the onion and cilantro in your ingredients list!!
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
Whoops, I forgot the onion. Cilantro/coriander was just for garnish. Thank you for spotting this.
