Categories < 30 Mins

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 lb beef eye round, sliced into thin strips
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup strong coffee
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 small red onion, sliced thin
1 red pepper, sliced thin
12 flour tortillas (6 inch) or 12 corn tortillas (6 inch)
3/4 cup sweet corn relish (store bought or similar to Mexicali Corn Relish)
fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

Season strips of steak with salt and set aside.
In a small bowl, make a sauce by whisking together coffee, ketchup, and chili powder.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and cook the beef in vegetable oil to brown, about 2 or 3 minutes.
Add sauce, onions, and red pepper; cook until vegetables are tender and sauce thickens, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in paper towels and heat in microwave for 30 seconds.
To serve, spoon steak and vegetables mixture into tortilla, top with corn relish, and garnish with fresh, chopped cilantro.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your tacos will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful steak, ripe tomatoes, and crisp lettuce.
Don't overcook the steak: Steak is best cooked to medium-rare or medium. Overcooked steak will be tough and chewy.
Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, garlic, cumin, and chili powder will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor.
Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy.
Let the steak rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Use a variety of toppings: Cowboy steak tacos are a great opportunity to get creative with toppings. Try using shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and pico de gallo.
