Steak Marinade

Taco Assembly

Method

Steak Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cook the Steak

  1. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, place a few strips of steak, top with chopped fresh cilantro, diced red onion, a dollop of sour cream, and slices of avocado. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
