Steak Tacos Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

2. 2

   Marinate the Steak

   Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the steak is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight.

3. 3

   Cook the Steak

   Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Grill or sear the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).

4. 4

   Rest the Steak

   Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

5. 5

   Prepare the Tortillas

   While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

6. 6

   Slice the Steak

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

7. 7

   Assemble the Tacos

   Place a few slices of steak on each warm tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro, avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
