Steak Fajitas with Fresh Lime

These vibrant steak fajitas with fresh lime offer a sophisticated twist on a classic Mexican-inspired favourite. By using lean skirt steak and an aromatic marinade of cumin, garlic and sriracha, this dish delivers a punchy heat without the need for heavy sauces. The addition of fresh basil and juicy cherry tomatoes provides a summery lightness that complements the citrus notes perfectly, making it a refreshing option for a mid-week meal.

As a diabetes-friendly recipe, this dish focuses on high-quality protein and fresh vegetables to keep the Glycaemic Index low. Serving the tender, spiced beef with wholemeal tortillas or large lettuce cups creates a balanced, heart-healthy dinner that feels indulgent yet remains nutritional. It is a quick, one-pan solution for anyone seeking a flavourful, homemade meal that supports a healthy lifestyle.
