Ingredients

  • 1 lb 1 pound flank steak
  • 1 1 medium onion
  • 2 cloves 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup 1 cup fresh cilantro
  • 6 6 corn tortillas
  • 1 1 lime
  • to taste Salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. Start by heating a grill or grill pan over high heat, then season the flank steak with salt and pepper on both sides, and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until cooked to desired level of doneness, then let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  2. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes, then add onion and cook stirring occasionally until golden-brown, 6–8 minutes, then add garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  3. Add sliced steak to the skillet, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic, then cook for 2-3 minutes, until heated through, then stir in chopped cilantro and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds, then assemble the tacos by slicing the steak into thin strips and serving with onion, garlic, and cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
  5. Serve immediately, with your choice of toppings, such as diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and sour cream, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste.
  6. To make the dish more substantial, serve with a side of Mexican street corn, or a simple green salad with a light vinaigrette, and a sprinkle of queso fresco for added flavor and texture.
