1
Marinate the Steak
In a bowl, combine the sirloin steak, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Rub the marinade all over the steak to ensure it's well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
2
Grill the Steak
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated steak on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is achieved. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

3
Chop the Onion
While the steak is resting, finely chop the medium onion and set it aside in a bowl.
4
Chop the Cilantro
Rinse the cilantro under cold water, shake off excess water, and then roughly chop it. Combine with the chopped onion.
5
Prepare the Lime
Cut the lime in half and set it aside for serving.

6
Warm the Tortillas
In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable and slightly toasted.
7
Fill the Tacos
Slice the rested steak into thin strips. Place a few pieces of steak onto each tortilla, followed by a generous amount of the onion and cilantro mixture.
8
Serve
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve immediately with any additional lime wedges on the side.
