Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound flank steak (trimmed of excess fat)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic (minced (about 2 teaspoons))
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (plus additional for grilling the steak)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (plus additional for grilling the steak)
Canola oil (for coating the grill)
8 7-inch corn or flour tortillas
Shredded Monterey jack (feta, or queso fresco cheese)
Other toppings: chopped fresh cilantro (diced red onion, sliced or diced tomatoes)

Steps:

  • Place the flank steak in a baking dish. In a medium mixing bowl or large measuring cup, stir together the olive oil, garlic, orange juice, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pour over the steak. Cover tightly with plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours (do not marinate for more than 8 hours or the steak will break down and soften too much).
  • When ready to grill, remove the steak from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature while you prepare any toppings and preheat the grill.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium-high heat (alternatively, you can cook the steak under your broiler-place your oven rack in the upper third, usually the second closest rack to the top). Brush the grill grates with oil. Remove the steak from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Grill (or broil) the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side, flipping once, until medium-rare (The steak should read 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.)
  • Remove the steak to a cutting board and cover with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes (this allows the juices to sink into the meat), then cut the steak into thin, 1/4-inch slices, slicing it across the grain.
  • Next, warm the tortillas. Place them in a dry skillet heated over medium-high or heat them on the grill for about 30 seconds per side, until warmed through.
  • To serve, fill the tortillas with a few slices of beef. Sprinkle with cheese and any desired toppings. Enjoy immediately.

Categories     Steak

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 teaspoons dried ancho chile powder
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 lbs flank steaks
1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1 -2 medium jalapeno, stemmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, more as needed
8 corn tortillas
1/2 cup sour cream
lime wedge, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare a medium (375°F) gas or charcoal grill fire.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the ancho powder with 1 teaspoons of the sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoons pepper. Pat the steak dry, sprinkle the ancho mixture on both sides, and let sit at room temperature while the grill heats.
  • Set the onion rounds and jalapenos on a large plate and sprinkle with 1 Tbs. of the oil, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper.

  • Put the steak, onions, and jalapenos on the grill. Grill the steak, flipping once, until cooked to your liking, 5 to 6 minutes for medium rare (130°F to 135°F). Grill the vegetables, flipping once, until grill marks appear and they're just tender, 4 to 6 minutes for the jalapenos and about 8 minutes for the onion. (Move the onions to a cooler part of the grill or lower the heat if they start to burn.) Transfer the steak and vegetables to a cutting board; let the steak rest for 5 minutes.
  • Chop the onions and finely chop the jalapenos, add to the cabbage mixture, and toss well. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and lime juice.
  • Spread 4 tortillas on the grill and heat, flipping once, until warm and softened, about 1 minute. Stack the warmed tortillas in a kitchen towel; repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  • Thinly slice the steak and put a few slices on each of the warm tortillas. Top with the slaw and a dollop of sour cream. Serve with the lime wedges.

Provided by PalatablePastime

Categories     Steak

Time 28m

Yield 10 soft tacos

Number Of Ingredients 14

20 ounces top sirloin steaks
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
10 8-inch flour tortillas
2 1/2 cups shredded lettuce
1 1/4 cups finely shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup sour cream
2 small tomatoes, finely chopped
1 (8 ounce) bottle taco sauce

Steps:

  • Mix together ingredients for marinade in a small bowl.
  • Place steak in a dish or plastic bag and pour marinade over it and refrigerate for several hours, or overnight.
  • Bring steak out of refrigerator 1 hour before cooking.
  • Prepare grill or broiler.
  • Drain the meat, saving the marinade.
  • Grill meat 3-4 minutes per side (for med-rare), basting occasionally with marinade, or cook longer if desired.
  • Slice meat thinly and set aside.
  • Wrap tortillas in a towel and warm in a microwave; or if desired, warm briefly in a skillet and then wrap in a towel to keep warm.
  • To assemble taco, place approximately 2 ounces of meat, 1/4 cup lettuce, 2 tbsp cheese, 1 tbsp sour cream, a small amount of tomatoes and some taco sauce on each tortilla.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak. Flank or skirt steak are great options because they're flavorful and relatively inexpensive. If you're looking for a leaner cut, try filet mignon or sirloin.
  • Marinate the steak. This will help tenderize the meat and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or you can get creative and try something different, like a marinade made with yogurt, lime juice, and cilantro.
  • Cook the steak over high heat. This will help sear the meat and lock in the juices. You can grill, broil, or pan-fry the steak.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the steak tacos with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Grilled steak tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that are perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure your steak tacos are cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
