Steps

1. 1

   Preheat a grill pan on high heat until it is hot.

2. 2

   Begin by seasoning the steaks with half of the fajita seasoning, then lightly coat them with cooking spray. Heat up the grill pan until it's hot, then place the steaks on it and grill each side for 3 minutes to achieve a medium-rare doneness. Once done, move the steaks to a platter, cover them with foil, and let them rest while keeping the grill pan on the heat.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, mix the onion and pepper together before lightly spraying them with cooking spray. Season the vegetables with the remaining fajita seasoning, then transfer them onto the grill pan. Grill the vegetables until they achieve a charred exterior and reach a tender-crisp texture, typically around 7 minutes. Once done, transfer the grilled vegetables to a bowl and cover it with foil to retain their warmth until serving.
