Instructions
Make the pico de gallo: Combine all ingredients in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Make the guacamole: Mash avocados in a large bowl using a fork. Mix in garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice and zest, salt and pepper. Place avocado pit in guacamole to keep guacamole from turning brown. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Make the fajitas: Heat oil in a large frying pan over high. Add the peppers and onion and cook until bright and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat a grill over high. Season steak all over with salt and pepper. Cook to medium-rare, about 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes, then remove bone and slice.
Heat a cast iron sizzle platter on grill until scorching hot, about 15 minutes. Place peppers on platter and top with sliced steak and bone. Drizzle oil over meat and vegetables then drizzle water onto platter to make it sizzle. Remove from grill and serve immediately.
Note
• A tomahawk steak is a large rib eye steak attached to the bone.
• Use banana pepper or more capsicum instead of the cubanelle pepper.
