Instructions

1
In a food processor, combine water, lime zest and juice, garlic cloves, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, and salt.
2
Blend the ingredients until they form a smooth purée. This technique extracts the maximum flavor from the ingredients.
3
Add the beef strips to the marinade in the food processor bowl and stir to coat completely.
4
Let the beef marinate for at least one hour.
5
Remove the beef from the marinade and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Pat the beef dry to remove excess moisture, which will help it get a good sear.
6
Cook the beef in a hot skillet until browned and cooked through.
7
Serve immediately with your favorite fajita toppings.
