Easy Weeknight Steak Fajitas | WEEKNIGHTING

[@mmmmmmmtoast]

Honestly dude you've become my favorite cooking youtuber lately. Dudes like adam ragusea and ethan chlebowski are amazing too but I don't have the time to do half the recipes they show and your weeknighting videos are actually plausible for me. Not to mention the vibes are just right

[@BrianLagerstrom]

all about the good vibes over here

[@Cured_Ham]

Yeah man, vibes dude. Good vibes bro. Just vibes bruh, all about vibes. Gotta be vibing, I can’t sleep at night if I don’t vibe or get good vibes from the moon.

[@jonathanwilliams1974]

@@BrianLagerstrom Weeknighting is my entire meal planning for...well...weeknights. Amazing and quick. My favorite sub right now.

[@russnagel1]

I agree with you completely, I watch those other two as well. Brian's food is on another level.

[@shereemorgan1430]

He needs to be on Food TV, great voice, look and you can really cook!

[@RayvenFE]

I like that you explain WHY you do certain steps. "Salt to draw out moisture," for example. Its helped me learn techniques to cook for myself rather than just following recipes to the T

[@BryanCross12]

My wife just made these! Bro. Best. Fajitas. Ever. And I'm from Texas. I've had some dang good fajitas in my life.

[@whatheduce]

Fantastic. It's nice to see someone who's a legit chef that is actually explaining recipes as a hospitality professional and making things but in a home-scale style video. Subscribed chef.

[@Enhancedlies]

Brian your videos are honestly amazing...I used to watch you often but now everything you do seems to be hitting the spot, plus i never fail learn something new! 10/10 haha

[@BrianLagerstrom]

That's awesome to hear. Thanks, Nick!

[@anthonygardner400]

Totally agree with you, Nick. Bri does an amazing job of hitting that sweet spot between “that looks amazingly delicious” and “I can do that!” I hope people appreciate that it often takes a lot of work to make things look easy. Bri is putting in that work so that we don’t have to. Really appreciate his talent and quality of work. Gets a 10/10 from me too!

[@HatelivesNextDoor]

Was it the onions?

[@adventure_hannah3841]

Broke college student here, working two jobs and exhausted out of my mind. Your weeknighting series is a huuuuuuuge help; I pick two of your recipes per week, make 'em on Sunday, then freeze them in Tupperware. Boom, homemade frozen dinners.

[@vvvvvv66666]

What beef did u use

[@maycontainnuts3127]

always turned off by many youtube cooking channels because their recipes always seem to assume you have incredible technical knowledge and plenty of money and time to make complicated food from expensive ingredients. ive just discovered your channel now and im so happy to find someone who will actually explain why youre doing what you do and whats actually going on in your pan. definitely subscribing

[@rchenard]

Brian "Ripped Beef" Lagerstrom to the rescue to solve the age-old 'what the heck are we going to eat this week' question! Thanks Bri!

[@frankfagnano3330]

My absolute favorite thing about your videos is dancing while you eat at the end. I pull the same move whenever I'm eating something I truly enjoy. You can't help but to just move with it.

[@TokyoBlue587]

Fajitas are one of my favorite foods of all time! I love this “Weeknighting” series. I don’t understand how you don’t have like a million subscribers, you are definitely one of the best chefs out there and I watch a ton of cooking videos on KZbin.

[@tiinaveer5298]

AND YES PLEASE KEEP THE WEEKNIGHTING RECIPES COMING! Great series. Super helpful. (Thank you!)

[@Felu]

The Weeknight series is so awesome. Easy and delicious :)

[@soupwitch8453]

You are killing it lately, Brian! Love your Weeknighting series, it's so delicious and approachable. Thanks for always delivering the quality recipes

[@jazzy_taste]

I love my cast iron skillet. Develops a great temperature for any meat. Cook it more slowly, but it is always juicy and perfectly cooked.

[@3BJohnson6]

Some of my friends get excited to watch new reality show episodes or Netflix series, well I get excited every time Bri puts a new video out… I always learn at least 1 or 2 cooking techniques and a great recipe.

[@bethp201]

I made these tonight…wow!! If these are fajitas then what have I been eating my whole life. Total game changer!

[@chetansingh3593]

Easily one of the best chefs on KZbin. I learn so much everytime and it’s well explained! Thank you!

[@JohnDlugosz]

As I recall, the original fajita was fajita (its namesake -- beef skirt steak) marinated in lime juice.

[@texasaggie75]

This.

[@altrogeruvah]

Oh man, this is a really down-to-earth fajita recipe, with ingredients we can all pretty much keep in our fridge and spice rack at any point, apart from the meat. I will be definitely implementing a "fajitas once per week" principle in my life!

[@godslayer1415]

Fajitas are skirt steak not sirloin or flank. Skirt steak.

[@brettmoore6781]

I made your Loaded Baked Potato salad this weekend and it is AMAZING... I'll try the other two soon.

[@BrianLagerstrom]

it's insane, right? glad you liked it.

[@dennyawright21]

Oh man the barbell bit cracked me up! Enough confidence to be goofy for our entertainment! Funny! 😂

[@4BWVan]

This looks AMAZING. I have a pretty good Mexican place close by, but they always cook the beef more than I like, and can't seem to do it any less cooked. This meat looked absolutely perfect. Absolutely going to try this one.

[@vids2002]

The meat most likely isn't cooked to order

[@keitharcher5723]

Thanks!

[@roBLINDhood]

Dude! Good job on the workouts!! The second the video started and thought, “Bri is looking kinda buff!”

[@bossi_plays]

This series is such a goldmine. I tried the Chicken Caesar salad which turned out great. Gonna try this next.

[@tiarawillis5677]

I always listen carefully to your videos. There is always good tips, for not only what you are making but in general. Good recipe!

[@daveyzeebra7141]

Former Austinite here. To me, beef skirt is a 100% must. Also if you don’t want to make your own seasoning try Bolner’s Fiesta Brand fajita seasoning. It’s out of San Antonio and awesome. I have no financial ties to this company, just what I’ve always used.

[@NRobertson1991]

Great info on the cut of meat! I feel like I always see flank or skirt steak described as a “cheap cut” but I have never found that to be the case in STL.

[@knifemaker2472]

Exactly! Same here in Southern IL. 30 miles from Paducah.

[@harrystbrice]

Absolutely amazing, just made this tonight, followed your recipe exactly except using the tomateo sauce. Wish could load a pic

[@ellajo1074]

I learned so much in this video. Thank you!

[@jayb555-r9k]

Bro!! BROOOOO! In the midst of eating these and they are so freaking good. So excited to make these for the SO.

[@gamrkidd]

I’m watching this while at work and absolutely STARVING .. I’d pay so much to be eating those amazing looking tacos !

[@reggiedunlop2222]

5:09 “Gets you frickin’ shredded like the B man” 😂😂😂

[@wesleymatthews6356]

I always use a a well marbled chuck roast or a few chuck eyes for my fajitas and i slice them quite thin basically shabu shabu style. The fat content in the chuck keeps them from drying out. But I mainly do this because each week I buy a chuck roast and a package of chicken thighs as my utility meats. They are both very versatile cuts of meat at cheap prices.

[@ervinfowlkes8326]

Omg just made these with ribeyes we had on hand - WOWWWW You already made me the banana bread guy now I’m going to be the fajita guy too thank you!!!

[@chaosthered526]

Hey Brian! man this tonight and the Teriyaki Salmon last week and both knocked both my wife and I's socks off! thank you good sir and please, please just keep doing what you're doing! much love from a simple home for many who just loves to cook any and all cuisines. -Jonathan

[@DarthCyfe6]

This reminded me that I needed a good fajita recipe. Can't wait to try this out!

[@DrewDvorak]

Short-sleeved Bri, keeping it cool in the summa time.

[@tonkaGuy888]

I almost never fail to find a great meal idea on your channel, and both your recipes and presentation are outstanding. Many thanks for what you do. Making this tonight!

[@kimberlycooper6321]

Damn great method. Thanks for another great tutorial for beginners & inspired new method/recipe for those more experienced - can't wait to try ASAP!

[@BrianLagerstrom]

I hope you do try! Thanks!

[@Sldejo]

Cooking for picky people: no onions, peppers or garlic. Added shredded cheese, canned refried beans and a flour tortilla shell. They loved it. Thank you! You had me at Lawry’s season salt.

[@giraffesinc.2193]

You tomatillo salsa is absolutely delicious ... I have made it several times now at varying level of heat and it's awesome.

[@deanmar9002]

The tip about using top sirloin just changed my life!

[@shaneduval8652]

Bri I've been making fajitas for years. I followed your recipe to T probably the best fajita to I've ever had. Keep up the good work!

[@Jerrywave_]

Oh now these look insane, def gonna have to make this one Bri 😎

[@james6495]

Oh my gosh man. I made these tonight and holy moly they are good!!

[@rneustel388]

In our house, corn tortillas are the standard. The fajita mix looks delicious!

[@huskylord123]

Very nice and great tip about the roast alternative

[@BrianLagerstrom]

Thanks Husky

[@jefff6167]

We’ve been making these fajitas for a year now. Haven’t been back to Chili’s since. Thanks for the upgrade Brian👍

[@thrillhouse8787]

One of your best dishes yet. Absolutely delicious, easy, and (I think?) pretty healthy. 10/10

[@loucinci3922]

Top Sirloin - nice choice. Flavor and price. Cut the cords! Looks so good. Thanks for sharing

[@TheTeaMachine]

Hey Bri, just made this last night with my gf, it was perfect.. we used egg life wraps for the tortillas, and everything turned out amazing.. thanks for the video!!

[@teresaeriksson913]

This is really great! Friday, it is happening. ”Let’s eat this thing!”

[@nathanpettijohn]

Another awesome video. I appreciate how unpretentious and down to earth you are.

[@itistoolatetothink]

We love you, Brian. - Pillow 😇 and Pup 🐶

[@Getpojke]

Nice, I haven't had fajitas in years & that really puts me in the mood. Funny you linking them with the gym. I associate certain dishes with certain parts of my life & fajitas are around 1999 to 2005. I was at the peak of my fitness ever, either at the gym, climbing or mountain biking every day & the girl I was living with just loved fajitas; would have had me cook them for her every day. Mexican food wasn't really a thing here yet but fajitas were the tip of the spear for it coming in. Great food as its healthy [or can be] good dose of protein & good veg. But oddly I've never had/made them since. They looked good though, may dip my toe back into the fajita pool again this week. Cheers for the inspiration. Good luck with the gym.

[@saltydroog854]

Another awesome vid. Pro move: throw a small cast iron pan under the broiler empty before you start. dump that stuff in there last minute, and march around your living room, out your front door, around to the back yard, in the back door, and place it on your table next to your tortillas. The best part about fajitas is letting everyone else know you're having them. :)

[@chriswhinery925]

For almost no prep work these fajitas look phenomenal. For anyone willing to plan ahead a bit, you can take this to the next level by looking up a decent Carne asada marinade recipe and marinating your beef overnight. But this looks great, I don't usually see people put poblano in their fajita but I like that addition a lot.

[@joshstiltner]

I never knew about Lowrys for fajita seasoning. Thanks for the tip!

[@brunoseefeld1044]

A weeknighting version of the classic bro chicken breast would be amazing!!

[@dimilton3166]

I JUST made these and OH MY GOSH these were super fast to prepare! Definitely gonna make these again!

[@ЛюдаБурцева-й7с]

Спасибо за рецепт, Уверена, что будет вкусно. Здоровья вам. 🌹 🌹🌹Thanks for the recipe, I'm sure it will be delicious. Health to you.

[@travisglover716]

I like this channel so much I actually watch the entire commercial(s).

[@dcassis3051]

Just so damn concise every time. Watched enough you tube chefs over enough years now to know that the actual palette of the chef matters in the recipe they provide and I think this channel should be the most widely loved for the exact consensus type reasoning you bring to the presented recipes consideration. Now how do we tell the you tube algorithm that? 😂😂

[@Bosmer1701]

I know what I'm making this weekend. It's funny how you are using top sirloin. I had this very conversation with my family going over the history of skirt steak, that 50 yrs ago was a cheap cut of meat and we could substitute that for sirloin.

[@elvissong9214]

good vibes let's eat this thing!

[@tiinaveer5298]

These fajitas rock. Made them with the wheat flour tortillas from the shrimp taco recipe, which were also delicious. The searing larger pieces of beef and then slicing them for reheating with the vegetables later is BRIL, and using poblanos with the bells is EVERYTHING.

[@godslayer1415]

Sounds like crap - not even using the CORRECT meat for this - which is Skirt steak. What you made is on taco bell level.

[@davidjharvey4898]

@@godslayer1415 Great tip. Can you share the link for your cooking channel plz? Thx.

[@bellenesatan]

@@godslayer1415 "sounds like crap" I'm sorry if you're mistaken, but you taste food with your mouth, not your ears. This is of course expected, as the space between them is empty for people like you. If you can't be civilized, go play outside.

[@milishatam]

omg I love you Brian!

[@BrianLagerstrom]

😎🤙🏻

[@BevoFan1883]

OMG Bri, we're like having the same thought process. Sirloin is like 3.99 a pound here in LA, flank is 8.99. I bought the flank and made beef chow mein with peppers and onions from Kenjis the Wok (fire recipe btw). While I was cooking the peppers and onions I thought dang I need to make some fajitas 😂. Im going to do your recipe but in the wok. The tossing in the wok is very satisfying.

[@johncspine2787]

Hey, I got the Wokmon doodad and it really works on my gas stove to concentrate the flame towards the center of the wok..

[@sergeigen1]

theres a peruvian dish called "lomo saltado" wich is basically right in the middle between a chinese stir-fry and a fajita dish, its also perfect for a wok lol

[@samuelmahoney6878]

Great video and recipe! I have always enjoyed your concise and explanatory style.

[@PhillyFail]

No man when you loaded up the plates I thought you were going to bench that not deadlifted or back row. I got excited for you man either way good on you good stuff love the channel love the cooking good weights too

[@abc-coleaks-info]

Here in NM most restaurants will serve this on a cast iron dish. Unless you specify, they will drop a little water on it before bringing it out and you can follow the steam blast from kitchen to table. It sounds (and smells) great, and works as advertising. Unfortunately, to often it’s all done with poor ingredients. This looks great!

[@hdxg750]

I'll be making these tonight except I'll be using the tortillas I made from my sourdough discard. Headed to the butcher now!!

[@purleybaker]

Great video. This is much easier than my approach, which involves grilling flank steak. I'm in your area and sirloin is definitely cheaper.

[@leahr.2620]

I love the taste of poblano peppers, I put them in my fajitas too. 👍👍

[@RallyGoat]

Another weeknighting banger! Adding this to the rotation this week for sure.

[@berthaz2583]

Looks delicious. I use Skirt steak for my fajitas.

[@WorkshopGreg]

Super validating. Exactly how I make this dish.

I dance too after meal prep and cook, usually have two IPAs under my belt!

[@КурочкаКрашена]

"Speaking of ripped beef" 🤣😂😅 I love it

[@Ryan_F.]

I’ve honestly always been super weary of cooking steak at my apartment since the smoke alarm is so sensitive-usually end up doing chicken fajitas. Would love to try this though.

[@andrewpreis2764]

“RIPPED BEEF”🤣🤣💪🏻💪🏻 Love the content bro, spot on every time!

[@Ramj92]

Y'all know its serious when papa wears the short sleeves with the roll!!!!!!! I love fajitas so much, also if you have a whole foods around try the "vista hermosa" flour tortillas, we've been buying them recently and can't stop!

[@JoshuaPerlow]

Love watching your videos my guy. However, instead of using a nonstick pan to heat tortillas, look into using a cast iron comal. It imparts such a nice crisp texture that set fajitas and tacos off *chefs kiss*

Made these tonight for dinner. They turned out wonderful! ❤

I've never been able to get sirloin to taste very good so I've always written it off. Will have to revisit now, thanks!
