These delicious Traeger Steak Fajitas are made with a reverse-seared steak that is then sliced and given a quick sear with some lime juice and Mexican seasonings before being put into warm tortillas and adding some delicious blistered peppers and onions into the mix.

Traeger Steak Fajitas
My Traeger Reverse-Seared Steak Fajitas are a sizzling mix of smoky beef, charred peppers, and all the toppings you can pile on. The reverse sear locks in flavor, giving you steak that’s juicy inside with a quick crust at the end. Cooking the meat low and slow on the Traeger lets the smoke work its magic, and the high-heat sear in a skillet brings everything together. Load them up in warm tortillas or serve over rice, and you’ve got a dinner that’s hearty, colorful, and ready to please a hungry crowd.
Reverse searing is a game-changer for steak night. By starting the meat at a low temperature, you get a more even cook from edge to edge. It also gives you more control, so you don’t overshoot that perfect doneness.
Fajitas are always a hit at gatherings because everyone can build their own plate. Lay out the toppings, let people pile on what they like, and watch them disappear.

Steak Fajitas FAQ
Cast iron and stainless steel are my favorites to use for searing! They both allow you to get the blazing hot, hold their temp well, and develop a perfect crust. Your last option should be a non-stick. It is hard to get the same kind of crust with any kind of non-stick pan.
Yes, flank, skirt, or sirloin all work. Adjust cooking time based on thickness.
Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat quickly in a hot skillet to keep the steak tender.
You can grill and slice the steak in advance, but sear it just before serving for best texture.
Any taco seasoning, fajita seasoning, or chili powder blend works well.

Tips For Perfect Steak Fajitas
- Don’t skip the rest. After the steak has done the time on low heat, pull it off and rest it. Resting the meat means letting it sit for about 15 minutes off heat to allow the cooked meat to reabsorb the juices into the meat.
- The sear makes the meal! You need a high heat surface to sear the meat and bring out that Maillard Reaction that comes with a good sear.
- Slice against the grain. Cut at an angle to the grain. The goal is to cut the strips so they are about 1 ½ to 2 inches long and about ½ to ¾ inch wide. They don’t have to be perfectly uniform.

What Topping Are Best With Fajitas
You don’t need much else besides steak and peppers. Some people like to eat the fajitas with a fork, and others prefer using flour tortillas to roll up the steak and peppers to eat by hand. Either way, watch out for that impulse to start eating right when it comes out of the pan at 500°!
Some side dishes and dressings I suggest to complement the steak fajitas include:
- Mexican rice
- Refried beans
- Pico de gallo
- Guacamole
- Salsa
- Lime wedges
These Traeger reverse seared steak fajitas bring together smoky beef, sizzling veggies, and bold flavor in every bite. They’re easy to make, full of color, and perfect for both weeknights and weekend cookouts.
