Beef Fajitas with Balsamic Onions



The sun was out today and although it was still just 45 degrees it felt like spring. So I decided to grill some beef fajitas with balsamic onions. This is part of a class that I teach. In addition I decided to make a batch of baked sweet potato fries and cole slaw to go with them. It was delicious and hit the spot.

Instead of using flank steak I used a sirloin strip mainly because it's not stringy like flank steak and I didn't have the entire day to marinate it. It was tasty, tender and moist.

If you've never made sweet potato fries they're amazing and simple.

Sweet Potato Fries
serves 4

3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges

spray a foil lined sheet pan or tray with non-stick spray
lay potato wedges on foil lined tray
sprinkle with Lawry's Seasoned Salt

Bake at 400 approximately 20 minutes.

Serve.

You have no idea how soft and tasty these are-they melt in your mouth. They're so good they don't even need catsup.

With spring just around the corner I have lots of fun culinary classes to choose from. If you're interested in learning more about them please contact me at: vkb2@hotmail.com
