Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories Food & Cooking Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

Canola oil, for grilling
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 pounds skirt steak
Coarse salt
12 homemade or store-bought Homemade Corn Tortillas
Chunky Guacamole with Serrano Peppers

Steps:

Lightly oil a grill pan and preheat over medium-high heat.
Rub chili powder on both sides of steak and season generously with salt. Place steak on grill pan and cook, turning once, about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes.
Heat a comal or cast-iron griddle over medium heat. Heat tortillas on comal, 1 or 2 at a time. Transfer to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you warm remaining tortillas.
Holding a sharp knife at a 45-degree angle, cut steak across the grain into thin strips. Place a warmed tortilla on work surface; top with 2 or 3 strips of steak and a generous spoonful of guacamole. Repeat process with remaining steak, tortillas, and guacamole; serve.

Tips:

If you don't have a grill, you can cook the steaks in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
To make sure the steaks are cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, cook the steaks to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium, cook the steaks to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium-well, cook the steaks to an internal temperature of 155 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing them. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
Serve the tacos with your favorite toppings, such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.

Conclusion:

Chili rubbed steak tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chili rub gives the steaks a smoky and flavorful crust, while the grilled pineapple adds a sweet and tangy touch. Serve the tacos with your favorite toppings and enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal.
