Lisa008marie, your texture may have been mealy because the butter & sugar should have been creamed first. The recipe states to combine the flour & sugar. Always creamed the butter & sugar.Try again. Start by creaming the butter & sugar. Then add one egg at a time, til just blended.Sift the flour & baking powder together in a separate bowl. Add 1/2 flour mixture to the creamed butter,sugar & eggs,blend. Then add milk, blend. Add remaining flour mixture, blend. Add vanilla. Fold in the orange zest. It is important that u do not over mix/blend. That can,by itself, result in the texture being mealy. I never mix/blend batter for more than 2-3 minutes.Try it again.

FROM THE
RECIPE:
Flank steak is perfect for beef fajitas, and what I do, rather than cut it into strips and then cook it, is to marinate and grill the whole piece of flank steak. Then, after the cooking process, I cut it into thin strips for fajitas. The meat stays more tender that way.
