For the Steak Marinade and Tacos

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best flavor.

  2. 2

    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 6-8 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tacos

    While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side. Slice the grilled steak against the grain into thin strips.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place the sliced steak onto the warm tortillas. Top with chopped cilantro, diced onion, sliced radishes, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream. Serve immediately.
