Marinade

Meat

Tacos

Method

Preparation of Marinade

  1. 1

    Mix the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

Marinating the Meat

  1. 2

    Marinate the Flank Steak

    Place the flank steak in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Cooking the Meat

  1. 3

    Grill the Flank Steak

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the flank steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill the steak for about 6-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  2. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 5

    Slice the Steak

    Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 6

    Prepare the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet until pliable. Place a portion of the sliced flank steak on each tortilla.

  2. 7

    Add Toppings

    Top each taco with chopped fresh cilantro, diced onion, and sliced radishes. Serve with lime wedges and salsa on the side.
