Method

Beef Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

    In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, black pepper, salt, and chili powder. Stir until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Beef

    Place the beef flank steak into the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Cooking the Beef

  1. 3

    Grill the Beef

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the flank steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the steak for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

  2. 4

    Rest the Beef

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more tender bite.

  3. 5

    Slice the Beef

    After resting, slice the beef against the grain into thin strips.

Serving Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    On each tortilla, add slices of the grilled beef and top with chopped cilantro, diced red onion, sliced jalapeños, and avocado. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
