Method

Marinated Beef Preparation

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

2

Marinate the Beef

Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Cooking the Beef

3

Grill the Steak

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

4

Rest and Slice the Steak

Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

5

Warm the Tortillas

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

6

Assemble the Tacos

Place a few slices of grilled beef on each tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro, diced onions, sliced radishes, and avocado. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
