STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to broil. You can also use a grill.
• Combine the lime juice and spices. Rub over the steak.
• Broil (or grill) for 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Let rest for 10 minutes and slice thin or chop into small pieces. You can also chop the steak into smaller pieces and cook it in a skillet. It will take 3-5 minutes in a hot skillet with about one tablespoon of oil.
• Warm the tortillas and top with cilantro and your other favorite toppings.

EASY STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Combine marinade ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth. Pour over flank steak and marinate at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook about 4-5 minutes per side (125 to 130°F for medium-rare).
• Rest steak about 5-7 minutes before cutting. Cut steak into 1/2" slices across the grain and then cut into bite sized pieces
• Serve in warmed tortillas with desired toppings such as pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream and cilantro.

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.

KOREAN BEEF TACOS (BULGOGI) RECIPE

Steps:

• Thinly slice beef against the grain and place in medium bowl.
• Stir together all marinade ingredients until sugar dissolves, pour over sliced meat and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight for best results. Tip: Let beef stay at room temp 30 min before cooking. Chilled meat will cool a hot pan and make your meat juice out.
• Heat a large, heavy non-stick pan on high heat (no need to add extra oil). It's hot enough when a piece of meat placed in the center has a strong sizzle. Add meat and sauté without stirring for 2-3 min or until lightly browned then stir and continue cooking additional 3-5 min, stirring occasionally or until fully cooked, liquid has evaporated and the sauce has caramelized on the beef.
• Toast tortillas on a hot dry skillet or directly on the grates of your gas stove-top, turning frequently - they cook really fast so don't walk away.
• Stir together all taco sauce ingredients. For easier drizzling, transfer to a ziploc bag and snip off the corner.
• To assemble tacos, place meat over toasted tortillas and cover with generous amount of purple cabbage. Add sprigs of cilantro, diced avocado and drizzle generously with taco sauce. If desired, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice for extra freshness.

BONNIE'S SALISBURY STEAK

Steps:

• 1. PREPARE THE MEAT THE NIGHT BEFORE: Combine the ground beef, bread, onion, mince garlic, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper in a large bowl. Add the milk. Mix well. Form into oval shaped patties, not too thick or thin. Wrap the patties individually and tightly in saran wrap and refrigerate over night. (Don't skip this step!)
• 2. MAKING THE SALISBURY STEAKS: In a small skillet, prepare the 2 packets of gravy per instructions. Add the one tablespoon of Lipton Mushroom Onion mix. (or 1/2 tablespoon if you use one packet) Once it's thickened, add the mushrooms and simmer. Sprinkle the prepared Salsibury Steak patties with the McCormick Steak Seasoning. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Once it's hot, add the salisbury steak patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until nice and brown, and to your desired degree of doneness. Use oil very sparingly if you have to.
• 3. SERVING THE SALISBURY STEAKS: You can serve the salsibury steaks two ways. You can add the gravy right into the pan and simmer it with the Salsibury Steaks for a few minutes. The gravy should be thickened. (We prefer it like that because the gravy picks up the juices of the meat) Or you can place the cooked steak patties on a serving dish and cover with the mushroom gravy. Garnish with 1 teaspoon chopped green onion. Enjoy!

SALSA-MARINATED SKIRT STEAK SOFT TACOS WITH REFRIED WHITE BEANS

Steps:

• MARINATE THE STEAK: Combine 1 cup of the salsa, the garlic, 2 tablespoons of the oil, the Worcestershire, and lime juice in a resealable plastic bag and add the steak. Shake to evenly disperse and marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
• SET UP: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil and keep warm in the oven.
• SEAR THE STEAKS: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steaks from the bag, allowing the large salsa bits and extra marinade to drip off, and pat with paper towels to dry slightly. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and a couple turns of pepper. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons oil into the skillet and cook the steaks on one side until browned, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until charred and medium-rare, about 3 more minutes. Let rest on a cutting board before slicing.
• MASH THE BEANS: Add the beans with their liquid to the same skillet and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, 4 to 6 minutes. Mash with a potato masher until smooth.
• ASSEMBLE THE TACOS: Slice the steak against the grain into 2- to 3-inch-long pieces. Spread the center of each tortilla with 1 tablespoon of the beans. Arrange a few slices of steak on top of each with some of the remaining salsa and some cilantro. Serve the extra beans on the side.

BONNIE'S BEEFY STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• 1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Do your prep work first and then it goes together really fast. I use a divided dish for the vegetables and cheese and then assemble the tacos after the tortillas are fried.
• 2. PREPARE INGREDIENTS: Wash the romaine lettuce. I cut it as fine as possible with a sharp knife, looks like it is shredded. Dice the onion fine. Dice tomatoes. Chop the cilantro fine, and mix with the tomatoes. Put the vegies and the cheese in the divided dish and set it in the refrigerator.
• 3. Grate the cheese. Dice the cooked steak into small pieces.
• 4. COOKING THE MEAT: You will need a large pan for the taco meat and steak and a medium pan to fry the tortillas. Place the ground beef in the pan over medium heat. When it starts to brown, I use a metal potato masher to make it all the same size. When the meat is lightly browned, add the taco seasoning mix, cumin, garlic, worcestershire sauce, A-1 sauce, and stir. Then add the salt and pepper and pepper flakes if you want it. Add one cup of water, stir, and let it simmer uncovered until the liquid is reduced. When it is reduced, add the steak. Adding it later keeps it from becoming tough. Keep it hot while you fry the tortillas. You can add a couple of spoons of water to keep it moist. Don't let it dry out (it is now ready to eat) . By the time the meat has reduced, you should have the taco shells fried.
• 5. FRYING THE TACO SHELLS: Fry the tortillas in hot oil, folding to make a shell until golden brown and then drain on paper towels. I cook the shells according to my family's preference. Some like them soft, others like them crispy. The boxed shells just don't taste the same to us.
• 6. When the shells are fried, assemble the tacos with the meat first, onion, tomato/cilantro mixture, lettuce and cheese, and taco sauce if desired. We like ours piled high with the vegies. Serve with guacamole and sour cream and a side of refried beans. Enjoy!
