Steak Fajita Roll Ups are a fun twist on classic fajitas—no tortillas needed! Made with thin slices of juicy sirloin steak, colorful bell peppers, and a flavorful fajita seasoning, this easy skillet recipe is packed with bold, Tex-Mex flavor in every bite.
Thin slices of sirloin tip steak packed with delicious bell pepper strips and onions, all rolled up and cooked to a tender perfection! Fresh and extra flavorful, a single taste of these Steak Fajita Rollups will make you forget about the missing flour tortillas!
This recipe is super simple, and it might just become a new favorite. I season the steak with my go-to homemade fajita seasoning mix — it’s quick to throw together and uses spices you probably already have sitting in the pantry. For the steak, I like to use sirloin or flank steak because it’s already cut thin. These fajita roll-ups are such a fun twist on dinner, especially with a side of Fiesta rice or Mexican rice.
Ingredients For Steak Fajita Roll Ups
You don’t need much to make these steak roll-ups! Just a few everyday ingredients and bold seasoning brings it all together. Below are a few quick notes, and be sure to scroll to the recipe card for full amounts and directions!
- Fajita Seasoning Mix – A store-bought fajita or taco seasoning will work just fine.
- Thinly Sliced Sirloin Tip Steak – Flank steak or skirt steak are great alternatives—just slice them thinly against the grain.
- Olive Oil – Used for sautéing the veggies and searing the steak roll-ups. You can swap in avocado oil, canola, or any neutral high-heat oil if needed.
- Bell Peppers – Use whatever colors you have on hand. You can also sub in poblano peppers for a little kick.
- Yellow Onion – You can also use red or white onion depending on what you’ve got.
- Lime Juice – A squeeze of lime at the end brightens up the whole dish. Lemon juice will work in a pinch, but lime gives it that classic fajita zing.
- Chopped Fresh Parsley or Cilantro – Your choice of garnish! Cilantro adds a more traditional Tex-Mex flavor, while parsley gives a milder, fresh touch.
- Prepared Guacamole (optional) – Great for dipping or spooning on top for extra flavor and creaminess. Totally optional, but always a crowd-pleaser. You can also serve it with sour cream or salsa if that’s more your thing.
How To Store Leftovers
- Store the steak rollups in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
- To reheat, just warm them in a skillet over low heat or pop them in the oven until heated through. They make a great next-day lunch!

How To Make Steak Fajita Roll Ups
I’ve made a lot of fajitas over the years! Everything from vegetarian mushroom fajitas to shrimp fajitas and the classic steak version. But my kids request these all the time, so they’ve definitely earned a regular spot in our dinner rotation. Let me walk you through how to make them step-by-step!
- Make the seasoning. First, make the fajita seasoning and set it aside—you’ll use it on the steak and the veggies.
- Slice the steak. Cut the steak into strips about 2 inches wide and 6 inches long so they’re easy to roll.
- Season the steak. Rub the steak strips with some of the seasoning mix and set them aside to marinate while you cook the veggies.
- Cook the peppers and onions. Heat a little olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and sliced onions, then season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a bit more of the fajita seasoning. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until tender and just starting to caramelize.
- Assemble the roll-ups. Let the veggies cool for a minute, then add a small handful to each strip of steak. Roll tightly and secure with a toothpick.
- Sear the steak roll ups. Add the rest of the olive oil to your pan, heat it up, and sear the roll-ups for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
- Finish and serve. Remove from heat, take out the toothpicks, and transfer the steak fajita roll ups to a plate. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve with guacamole on the side.
