Steak Marinade

Method

Steak Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic cloves, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Add the flank steak to the marinade, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for better flavor.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Slice the Steak

    Once rested, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

Taco Assembly

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

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

  2. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a few slices of steak on each warm tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro, diced red onion, and avocado slices. Add a scoop of salsa or pico de gallo and serve with lime wedges on the side.
