Steak Tacos
So I had a steak taco night and from there it escalated into a steak and egg taco breakfast, then onto a steak taco salad lunch :) It's great using leftovers for other meals. I hate to see things go to waste. I added images of the three different ways I had prepared the steak tacos. I listed the recipe on how to cook the steak and what I used to assemble them, which is also a personal preference. Tacos are so easy to play around with, you can really add and create whatever you like. Have fun!
See my recipes for homemade salsa and guacamole to add on these tacos! *I squeezed a lime in plain greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream.
Ingredients
Flank steak
Rub: cumin, cayenne pepper, ground jalapeno pepper, garlic powder, chili pepper, salt, ground pepper
Olive oil
Corn tortillas
Toppings: romaine lettuce, queso fresco, plain greek yogurt, salsa, guacamole, habanero pepper hot sauce, fresh lime juice
Instructions
Take out all your spices. Sprinkle one side with each spice and a drizzle of olive oil, rub.
Flip over steak and do the same so both sides are seasoned and massaged with rub and olive oil. Cover and let marinate. I left mine in the refrigerator all day and took it out about 30 minutes before I needed to cook it. If you are using it right away, letting it sit to marinate on the counter for 30 minutes is fine too.
I got my non-stick pan really hot before I added the steak. I added the steak to the plan for about a minute or so on each side to give it a nice sear.
Then I turned the broiler on high and placed the steak on a rack and baking sheet and slipped it into the oven for about 4 minutes (for medium rare) Keep an eye on it because the broiler cooks it fast.
Let sit for about 5 minutes and transfer to a cutting board to slice.
Assemble your tacos.
