I didn't marinate the onion and pepper slices because I wanted the veggies to stay crisp. I added some salt to the meat and veggies right before taking them of the heat. But for those who don't have access to a grill, no problem. You can still make the easiest steak fajitas ever. The steak can be thrown onto a cast iron skillet, and the veggies can cook on the stovetop while your meat rests.
