Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use flank steak or skirt steak for your tacos. These cuts are relatively inexpensive and cook quickly.
  • Be sure to marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • When cooking the steak, be sure to sear it over high heat for a few minutes per side. This will create a nice crust and help to lock in the juices.
  • Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help to prevent the juices from running out.
  • For the tomatillo salsa, be sure to use fresh tomatillos. Canned tomatillos can be used, but they will not have the same flavor.
  • If you don't have a blender, you can make the salsa by hand. Simply chop the tomatillos, onion, and cilantro very finely.
  • Be sure to serve the tacos with plenty of fresh toppings, such as shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, and sour cream.

Conclusion:

Steak tacos with tomatillo salsa are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that your family and friends will love.
