Steak Taco Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak Marinade

   In a small bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

2. 2

   Marinate the Steak

   Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

3. 3

   Cook the Steak

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade. Grill or sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (130-135°F for medium-rare).

4. 4

   Rest and Slice the Steak

   Once cooked, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute. After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

5. 5

   Warm the Tortillas

   In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable.

6. 6

   Assemble the Tacos

   Place a few slices of steak on each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
