1 lemon, juiced- more for accent if preferred
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dry oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 healthy pinch red pepper flakes (to taste)
1 lb elk sirloin steak
1 red bell pepper, sliced thin
1 medium onion, frenched
6 large mushrooms, sliced
butter or olive oil (for frying)
1 cup monterey jack cheese, grated
tortilla
cilantro
salt and pepper (to taste)

1
Mix together the first 7 ingredients. I add about a teaspoon of chopped cilantro and a pinch of salt and pepper. This will be divided in half to marinate the steaks and serve with the fajitas.
2
Preheat your barbeque. Optionally you can fry the steak.
3
Saute vegetables on high heat until lightly browned and slightly softened.
4
Grill steaks to preferred doneness and rest for 5 minutes. Slice into strips against the grain.
5
Serve sliced meat and vegetables on warmed tortillas with sour cream, cheese, remaining sauce, and cilantro.
6
I had mixed greens and added them to the wraps. It worked very nicely with the vinaigrette. It is a nice optional touch to add more nutrients and a little extra flavor and texture.
