Tips:

  • For the best flavor, choose a flank steak that is at least 1 inch thick.
  • Make sure to score the steak against the grain before cooking. This will help the marinade penetrate the meat and make it more tender.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the steak for the full 30 minutes, you can still cook it, but it won't be as flavorful.
  • Cook the steak over high heat until it reaches your desired doneness. For a medium-rare steak, cook for about 5 minutes per side.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
  • For the charred corn salsa, use fresh corn on the cob. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen corn, but thaw it completely before using.
  • Char the corn kernels in a hot skillet until they are slightly blackened. This will give the salsa a smoky flavor.
  • Add chopped cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño to the salsa for extra flavor.
  • Season the salsa with salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste.
  • Serve the flank steak tacos with the charred corn salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

These flank steak tacos with charred corn salsa are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual party. The steak is flavorful and tender, and the salsa is fresh and smoky. These tacos are sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
