Sizzling Steak Tacos Recipes

STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Place the flank steak in a baking dish. In a medium mixing bowl or large measuring cup, stir together the olive oil, garlic, orange juice, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pour over the steak. Cover tightly with plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours (do not marinate for more than 8 hours or the steak will break down and soften too much).
• When ready to grill, remove the steak from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature while you prepare any toppings and preheat the grill.
• Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan over medium-high heat (alternatively, you can cook the steak under your broiler-place your oven rack in the upper third, usually the second closest rack to the top). Brush the grill grates with oil. Remove the steak from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Grill (or broil) the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side, flipping once, until medium-rare (The steak should read 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.)
• Remove the steak to a cutting board and cover with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes (this allows the juices to sink into the meat), then cut the steak into thin, 1/4-inch slices, slicing it across the grain.
• Next, warm the tortillas. Place them in a dry skillet heated over medium-high or heat them on the grill for about 30 seconds per side, until warmed through.
• To serve, fill the tortillas with a few slices of beef. Sprinkle with cheese and any desired toppings. Enjoy immediately.

GRILLED BEEF AND BLUE CHEESE TACOS

Steps:

• Brush onions with oil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle steak with remaining salt. Grill onions and steak, covered, over medium heat until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), and onions are tender, 4-6 minutes per side. Let steak and onions stand 5 minutes., Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine soy sauce, Worcestershire, brown sugar, vinegar, garlic and pepper. Halve onion slices; cut steak thinly across grain. Add onions and steak to soy mixture; toss to coat. Serve in tortillas with blue cheese.

MEXICAN - SIZZLING STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat.
• Add the bell pepper and onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes, then transfer the sauted vegetables to a small bowl.
• Add the steak to the same skillet and cook until no longer pink, about 2 minutes.
• Next add the jalapeño, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper to taste and transfer the meat to a heated bowl.
• In a medium sized bowl combine the corn, tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, vinegar, and oil, set aside until needed.
• Warm the tortillas over a gas flame or electric burner until they begin to color, then transfer to a napkin-lined basket.
• Put everything on the table and enjoy!

SIZZLING PORK TACOS

Steps:

• Season the pork generously with salt and pepper. Add the garlic, chile powder and cumin, and mix well, massaging the seasoning into the meat with fingers. Let the meat marinate for at least an hour, or refrigerate overnight.
• Heat the oil in a wide cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the oil looks wavy, add the meat and let it sizzle, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn off the heat and keep meat warm.
• Heat the tortillas on an ungreased hot griddle or cast iron pan. Turn them once or twice until hot and slightly puffed. As they come off the griddle, stack them on a cloth napkin to steam, with another napkin on top.
• To assemble the tacos, stack 2 hot tortillas on a plate. Spoon on a little sizzled pork, then top with a spoonful of tomatillo salsa and another of salsa cruda. Garnish with radishes and cilantro sprigs. Serve and eat immediately.

SIZZLING STEAK FAJITAS

Steps:

• Blend steak sauce and salsa. Place steak in glass dish; coat with 1/4 cup of the steak sauce mixture. Cover. Refrigerate 15 minutes to 1 hour to marinate, stirring occasionally.
• Cook onion and green pepper in oil in large skillet on medium-high heat 3 minutes or until tender. Remove with slotted spoon; reserve. Cook and stir steak in same skillet 5 minutes or until cooked through. Add remaining steak sauce mixture, onion and pepper; cook until heated through.
• Place steak mixture in tortillas; wrap. Serve with fajita toppings, if desired.
