Steak

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the flank steak from the marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness. Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Pico de Gallo

    Prepare Pico de Gallo

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix until well incorporated. Set aside.

Watercress Salad

    Make the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine watercress, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Toss gently to coat.

Truffle Aioli

  1. 6

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, truffle oil, and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 7

    Prepare the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side. Slice the grilled steak thinly against the grain.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a few slices of steak in each tortilla, top with pico de gallo and a handful of watercress salad. Drizzle with truffle aioli before folding the tortillas over.
