5-ingredient slow cooker/instant pot steak fajitas

There are only 5 ingredients in this slow cooker or pressure cooker steak fajitas recipe. This easy yet delicious low-carb, paleo, and whole30 dish is perfect any day of the week.


Yesterday was National Margarita Day and I completely missed out. I will not miss out on Taco Tuesday! Fajitas count right? I’m all about simplicity these days so there are only 5 ingredients in this recipe and they are: beef, bell pepper, onion, salsa, and fajita seasoning.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 lbs beef, sliced
  • 1–2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 15 ounces salsa or diced tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp fajita seasoning (see blog post for homemade mix)


INSTRUCTIONS
Slow Cooker

  1. Add all ingredients to the slow cooker. Stir to mix well.
  2. Cook HIGH 2-3 hours, LOW 4-6.
  3. Instant Pot 
  4. Turn on the IP and select Sauté. Once hot add oil to the pot. Add the beef,  onions, and bell pepper until beef is browned and vegetables softened, approximately 5 minutes.
  5. Add remaining ingredients. Stir to mix well.
  6. Close lid and seal valve. Set manual (high) pressure to 9 minutes. Quick release the pressure. Stir & serve.
