Taco Assembly

Method

Marinating and Grilling the Steak

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak and coat it evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated flank steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Slice the Steak

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

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 4

    Sauté the Onions

    While the steak is grilling, slice the onion into thin strips. In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and sauté the onions until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 5

    Chop the Cilantro

    Rinse the cilantro and chop it finely. Set aside.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 6

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet or directly on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, warm the corn tortillas until they are pliable.

  2. 7

    Fill the Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer the sliced steak, sautéed onions, and chopped cilantro.

  3. 8

    Add Toppings

    Squeeze fresh lime juice over the filled tacos, and add sour cream and salsa to taste.
