Steak Tacos With Avocado Salsa Recipes

GRILLED STEAK TACOS WITH CHERRY TOMATO-AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare the steak: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, chile powder, coriander, cumin, garlic and lime zest. Rub mixture all over the steaks, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
• Prepare the salsa: Light the grill or heat to medium-high (or heat the broiler). Grill onion, garlic and 1 jalapeño until tender and charred on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes (or place on a broiler pan and broil). Remove from heat until cool enough to handle, then roughly chop onions, peel garlic and remove seeds and stem from jalapeño.
• Transfer grilled onion, garlic and jalapeño to a blender or mini food processor. Halve the fresh jalapeño and seed it, if desired, then add it to the blender. Process to a chunky paste. Scrape into a serving bowl and toss with tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, lime juice and salt.
• Add more charcoal to the grill, if needed, and grill the steaks until done to taste, about 2 minutes per side for rare (or broil). Let meat rest on a cutting board covered with foil for at least 7 minutes. Meanwhile, grill or broil the tortillas until warm.
• To serve, slice the meat across the grain, and serve with the warm tortillas, radishes, lime wedges, salsa and crema. Let people assemble their own tacos at the table.

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan. Grill the jalapeños until charred. Stem and seed the jalapeños; finely dice 2 of them. Thinly slice the remaining jalapeño and reserve on a platter.
• In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the diced jalapeños and onion and the garlic and cook over moderate heat until golden, 10 minutes. Add the tomatillos and cook until softened. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. Stir in the avocado, cilantro, and lime juice; season with salt and pepper.
• Oil the chorizo and grill over moderate heat until cooked through. Remove the chorizo casing and crumble the meat into a bowl. Lightly oil the cheese and grill for 1 minute per side, then oil the pan and grill the sliced onion until charred; transfer both to the platter.
• Oil the steak; season with salt and pepper. Grill over moderately high heat, turning once, 8 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to a board and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the steak and serve with the accompaniments.

SURF AND TURF STEAK TACOS WITH TOMATILLO-AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• For the steak: Marinate the flank steak in the tiger sauce, lime juice, orange juice and garlic. Grill for 5 minutes per side. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin slices.
• For the halibut: Combine the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, jalapeno and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Add the halibut, turning to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator. Grill for 3 to 6 minutes per side, depending on thickness -- the halibut will flake when done. Cut into small pieces.
• For the tomatillo-avocado salsa: In a blender, combine the tomatillos, jalapenos, avocado, onion, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, agave and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Blend until completely smooth. Set aside.
• For the jalapeno-lime slaw: Add the cabbage, cilantro and jalapenos to a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder and some salt and pepper. Toss the cabbage with dressing to taste.
• To serve: Begin plating with a corn tortilla. Add a little less than 1/4 cup of slaw, top with a few pieces of halibut, a tablespoon or so of the salsa and a few slices of steak. Finish with crumbled feta, sliced radishes, if using, and a lime wedge.

• Cut flank steak into small cubes. Wrap 8 tortillas in a paper towel and heat in the microwave until soft, 20 to 30 seconds. Serve steak on tortillas.

STEAK TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE SLAW & AVOCADO SALSA (DAVID VENABLE) RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• To prepare the steak, first make a marinade with the garlic, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, jalapeño, and chili powder. Combine the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely minced. Place the flank steak in a large zip-top plastic bag, pour in the marinade, and squeeze out any excess air before sealing. Allow the steak to marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours; do not exceed 8 hours. To prepare the slaw, combine the sour cream, milk, chipotle pepper, and vinegar in a large bowl and whisk until combined. Add the cabbage and stir until it's completely coated with dressing. To prepare the salsa, combine all the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl; toss until combined. (If kept refrigerated, this can be made up to 2 hours prior to serving.) To make the tacos, preheat the grill and set the temperature to medium-high. Grill the steak for 8 minutes on each side, or until your desired degree of doneness. Let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting, diagonally across the grain, into thin slices. Place 4-5 slices of steak in a taco shell, top with approximately a quarter cup of salsa and the same amount of slaw. Fold up the shell and enjoy!
