Description

Delicious flank steak tacos marinated in a zesty mix and served with fresh toppings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion

Instructions

  1. Marinate the beef: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, cumin, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add flank steak to the marinade and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight for best flavor.
  2. Preheat your grill: Heat to high (450°F/232°C).
  3. Grill the steak: Remove steak from marinade, discard marinade, and grill for 5-7 minutes per side until it reaches desired doneness.
  4. Rest and slice: Let the steak rest for five minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips.
  5. Assemble tacos: Warm tortillas over medium heat. Layer each tortilla with sliced meat and top with cilantro and red onion.
  6. Serve: Enjoy immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

  • For maximum flavor, marinate the steak overnight.
  • Serve with additional lime wedges for extra zing.
