Tacos de Asada

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt. Add the flank steak, ensuring it is well-coated. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tacos

    Slice the grilled steak thinly against the grain. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet. Assemble the tacos by placing sliced steak on each tortilla, topped with diced onions, fresh cilantro, and sliced radishes.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
