Steak Tacos With Guacamole Salsa And Lime Crema Recipes

RECIPE: AUTHENTIC MEXICAN TACOS ASADA (STEAK TACOS)

Steps:

• Place the steak in a glass or nonreactive baking dish. In a food processor or blender add all the marinade ingredients and blend until smooth. and pour the marinade over the steak. Cover and marinate for 2-8 hours or overnight.
• For best results preheat an outdoor grill. The oven broiler or a cast iron skillet can also be used. Place steaks on the grill, season again with salt and pepper. Cook approximately 4-6 minutes per side.
• It is best to take the steak off the grill just slightly under your preferred temperature. It will continue to cook while resting. Let it rest a few minutes tented loosely with aluminum foil. Once ready, cut the steak into slices about 1/8-1/4 inch thick against the grain.
• While steak is cooking, warm tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side in a skillet or on the grill. Stack the tortillas and move to the side or wrap in foil to keep warm.
• To assemble the tacos add slices of steak, chopped onions, cilantro, salsa and cheese to each tortilla. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime and a dash of your favorite hot sauce.
• As they say in Mexico, Buen Provecho! (Enjoy!)

15-MINUTE STIR-FRIED STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Cut the steak along the grain into 3-inch pieces, then slice each piece across the grain into 1/3-inch-thick strips. Toss the steak in a medium bowl with the chili powder, oregano, sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in a clean dishcloth, and microwave at 100 percent for 1 minute. Let sit, wrapped in the dishcloth, until ready to serve.
• When the skillet is hot, add the oil. Add the seasoned steak in an even layer. Don't stir for 2 minutes, then give the steak a good stir and let cook until browned, about 1 1/2 minutes more. Transfer the steak to a medium bowl. Immediately add the onions to the skillet, and stir until brown and slightly softened, about 1 1/2 minutes; transfer to the bowl with the steak, and stir to combine.
• Set up a taco bar with the steak and onions, wrapped tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, salsa verde, pico de gallo and cheese.
