Method

Marinating the Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Flank Steak

    Place the flank steak in a large zip-lock bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and ensure the steak is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the flank steak for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the desired doneness is reached.

  3. 5

    Let it Rest

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Assembling Tacos

  1. 6

    Slice the Steak

    Thinly slice the grilled steak against the grain.

  2. 7

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  3. 8

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a few slices of steak on each tortilla. Top with chopped onion, cilantro, sliced radishes, and avocado. Add a dollop of sour cream on top.
