Beef Tacos al Carbon
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 white onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
Instructions
- Season the flank steak with salt and pepper.
- Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook to your desired level of doneness, about 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from heat, let rest for a few minutes, then cut into thin strips.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil, chopped onion, garlic, and jalapeno. Sauté until the onions are translucent and tender, about 5 minutes.
- Return the steak strips to the skillet, add cilantro, and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or directly over the stove flame for a few seconds on each side.
- Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the beef mixture onto each tortilla. Top with avocado slices, crumbled cotija cheese, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
