Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup brewed coffee, at room temperature
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds skirt steak, cut into 4 equal pieces
1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
8 store-bought corn tostadas
1/2 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves
Sliced avocado, Mexican crema, crumbled Cotija cheese, pickled jalapenos, shredded lettuce and/or lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare an outdoor grill for high heat.
  • Whisk the coffee, chili powder, oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a shallow baking dish. Add the skirt steak, turn to coat, set aside at room temperature to marinate for about 20 minutes.
  • While the steak marinates, brush the onion slices lightly with oil and grill, flipping occasionally, until soft and lightly charred, about 15 minutes; set aside. Drain the steak and grill, flipping once until medium-rare on the inside with deep grill marks, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes and then thinly slice against the grain.
  • Top each tostada with a mound of steak, some grilled onions and cilantro leaves. Serve with sliced avocado, Mexican crema, crumbled Cotija cheese, pickled jalapeno, shredded lettuce and/or lime wedges.

3 Vidalia or other sweet onions, peeled
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
1 large clove garlic
2 cups fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 tablespoon salt
1 1/4 pounds flank steak, trimmed of excess fat
4 small zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch wedges
8 eight-inch flour tortillas
2 heads romaine lettuce, washed and cut into 1/8-inch-wide slices
6 tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
4 radishes, sliced into paper-thin rounds
4 limes, halved
Olive-oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Halve an onion crosswise, and place one half in the bowl of a food processor. Add jalapeno pepper, garlic, 1 cup cilantro, olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; puree about 1 minute. Cut remaining onions into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.

Turn and cook until medium rare, about 10 minutes more. Remove from heat; set aside. Place zucchini and onions on grill. Cook until tender and browned, 8 to 12 minutes; turn as needed.
  • Thinly slice beef. Toss lettuce with 1/2 cup cilantro. Layer each tortilla with tomatoes, lettuce, zucchini, beef, onions, and radishes. Garnish with remaining 1/2 cup cilantro; squeeze half a lime over each tostada, and sprinkle each with a pinch of salt.
