Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Mix well. Add the steak to the marinade, ensuring it's well coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the steak is marinating, slice the onion into thin strips and chop the cilantro leaves. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Onions

    In the same grill pan or a skillet, add a little olive oil and sauté the sliced onions over medium heat until they are caramelized and soft, about 5-7 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    Slice the grilled steak against the grain into thin strips. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. To assemble, place a few strips of steak on each tortilla, top with sautéed onions, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
