GRILLED STEAK TACOS



Grilled Steak Tacos image

Flat iron steak is an inexpensive but totally flavorful cut of meat, especially when marinated in a citrus adobo sauce to make my favorite steak tacos.

Provided by Heidi

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup orange juice
2 cloves garlic (, peeled)
2 chipotle peppers plus 2 tablespoons adobo sauce from the can

1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds flat iron steak
Sliced avocado

Chopped onion
Chopped cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Poke holes in the steak with a large knife, taking care to make the holes with the grain. Add the steak to a gallon size freezer bag.

  • Reduce the heat to medium-high and grill the meat for 10 minutes on each side or until cooked to desired doneness.
  • Allow the steak to rest on a platter, covered with foil, for 10 minutes before cutting.
  • Warm the tortillas over a gas flame or on the grill. Assemble the tacos with sliced avocado, chopped onion, tomatoes, cilantro, queso fresco, and a squeeze of grilled limes or sliced jalapeño if you like.

GRILLED PRIME CHEESETEAK TACOS



Grilled Prime Cheeseteak Tacos image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Time 2h45m

Yield 12 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds center-cut tenderloin
1 poblano chile
Olive oil, for drizzling
1 yellow onion, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 fresh corn tortillas
Cheese Sauce, recipe follows
12 pickled cherry peppers, stemmed, seeded and thinly sliced
One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 ounces sharp yellow Cheddar, freshly grated
2 ounces pepper jack cheese, freshly grated
2 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
2 teaspoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Put the tenderloin on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Flip the tenderloin and freeze for another hour. Use a very sharp knife to slice the meat as thinly as possible.
  • Roast the poblano directly over an open flame, turning regularly, until blistered and blackened all over, about 5 minutes. Put in a bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and let cool for at least 10 minutes. Rub off the blackened skin, remove the stem and seeds and slice into 1/4-inch strips.
  • Heat a cast-iron griddle over medium-high heat on one side and medium-low heat on the other side. On the cooler side, drizzle with olive oil, add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and beginning to char, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the roasted poblano to the onions and cook for another 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the meat with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Drizzle the hot side of the grill pan with olive oil, then lay the meat in a single layer, in batches if necessary. Cook very quickly on the first side, about 1 minute. Flip and cook on the other side, another minute or so. Repeat the process until all the meat is cooked. Reserve in a bowl along with the onions and pepper until you are ready to serve.
  • Heat both sides of the griddle over medium-high heat and oil lightly. Arrange the tortillas in a single layer on the griddle and heat about 30 seconds per side, then wrap in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
  • To build the tacos: In a warm tortilla, layer some meat, spoon on a couple of tablespoons of Cheese Sauce, add a few of the pepper and onions and top with the pickled cherry peppers.
  • Set a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the evaporated milk and Dijon and whisk together until uniform and smooth. Toss the Cheddar, pepper jack and blue cheese with the cornstarch in a bowl until totally coated. Whisk the cheese mixture into the milk mixture and heat, stirring constantly, until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is silky and smooth, about 5 minutes. Keep warm over low heat until ready to use.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 1/2 teaspoons New Mexican or other mild chile powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 large garlic clove, finely grated or minced
Finely grated zest of 1 lime (cut lime into wedges for serving)
2 1/2 pounds skirt steak (usually 2 steaks)
1 white onion, peeled and sliced into 1-inch-thick slices
2 large garlic cloves, unpeeled
2 jalapeños
1 quart cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 avocado, diced

2 teaspoons fresh lime juice, more to taste

Vietnamese-Style Grilled Steak with Noodles image

Categories     Beef     Herb     Pasta     Pepper     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Summer     Gourmet     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 ounces capellini, or other thin spaghetti
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon anchovy paste
1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves, shredded, or 1 teaspoon dried, crumbled, plus 2 mint sprigs for garnish
two 3/4-inch-thick boneless shell steaks (about 1 pound)
3/4 cup fresh bean sprouts, rinsed and drained
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into julienne strips

Steps:

  • In a kettle of boiling salted water boil the capellini until it is just tender and drain it in a colander. Rinse the capellini under cold water and drain it well. While the noodles are boiling, in a blender blend the vinegar, 1 tablespoon water, the soy sauce, the garlic, the sugar, the red pepper flakes, the salt, and the anchovy paste until the sauce is smooth. In a bowl toss the noodles with the sauce and the shredded mint.
  • Heat a well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat until it is hot and in it grill the steaks, patted dry and seasoned with salt and pepper, for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they are springy to the touch, for medium-rare meat. (Alternatively the steaks may be grilled on an oiled rack set 4 to 5 inches over glowing coals for the same amount of time.) Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them stand for 5 minutes. Cut the steaks into thin slices.
  • Divide the noodles between 2 plates, mounding them, arrange the slices of steak on them, and surround the noodles with the bean sprouts and the bell pepper. Garnish each serving with a mint sprig.

STEAK TACOS WITH GUACAMOLE, SALSA, AND LIME CREMA



Steak Tacos With Guacamole, Salsa, and Lime Crema image

Recipe from Kerry Simon's book: All-New Recipes from the Eat Like a Man Cookbook. He adds: Don't let the long list of ingredients throw you -- this is simple street food and there's very little actual "cooking" involved. TIP FROM MR. SIMON: Tip: The salsa, crema, and guacamole can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead of time, wrapped tightly, and refrigerated. When wrapping the guacamole, place a layer of plastic film directly on the surface (and/or keep avocado pits in the bowl) to avoid discoloration from oxidation.

Categories     Steak

Time 36m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 25

3 1/2 lbs skirt steaks, cut against the grain into strips (a little smaller than your little finger)
20 (4 inch) flour tortillas
1/2 cup canola oil
2 limes, juiced
1 large head chinese napa cabbage, cleaned cut into thin strips and tossed with the juice of the 2 limes
2 teaspoons dried chipotle powder or 2 teaspoons dried ancho chile powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons cumin
3 teaspoons kosher salt (use less if using table salt) or 3 teaspoons coarse salt (use less if using table salt)
1 jalapeno pepper (to taste)
1 red onion, sliced 1/4-inch thick
4 plum tomatoes
2 ounces canola oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt or 1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 bunch cilantro, roughly chopped
3 fresh limes, juiced
4 limes, juiced
6 ripe Hass avocadoes, halved pitted flesh scooped out and placed in large bowl with the juice of the 4 limes
4 plum tomatoes, small diced (about 2 cups)
1 red onion, minced (about 1 cup)
1 bunch cilantro, roughly chopped
2 teaspoons kosher salt or 2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 cups sour cream
2 fresh limes, juiced

Steps:

  • To make tacos: Combine spice-mixture ingredients and toss with steak to coat. Set aside. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Warm tortillas on cookie sheet in oven. Heat two large saute pans to medium-high. When pans are hot, add oil to each pan followed by 1/2 the seasoned meat. Spread meat out evenly and cook without turning while you lay out warm tortillas on a clean work area to get ready for assembly. Cook meat for approximately 3 minutes, turn, and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to achieve even coloring. After 3 minutes, turn off heat and allow meat to sit in the pan, becoming just cool enough for you to handle.
  • To make salsa: Rub jalapeno, onion, and tomatoes lightly with oil and roast in large saute pan on medium-high, turning frequently until lightly charred all over. Set aside to cool. When cooled, roughly chop and place in a food processor with salt, pulsing until almost smooth but still just a little chunky. Transfer to bowl, add cilantro and lime juice, cover, and refrigerate. (For a milder salsa, use only half the jalapeno.).
  • To make guacamole: Lightly crush avocados with fork until almost smooth but still a little chunky. Evenly mix in tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and salt; cover and refrigerate.
  • To make lime crema: Whisk 2 cups sour cream together with the juice of 2 fresh limes.
  • To serve: Spread 1/2 tablespoon guacamole on each warmed tortilla, followed by a large pinch of cabbage. Distribute meat evenly and fold tortillas up end to end. Serve immediately on a large platter with the salsa, crema, guacamole and a bag of your favorite tortilla chips.

STEAK (AND POTATOES) TACOS



Steak (And Potatoes) Tacos image

I learned this recipe in the Moneterrey, Mexico kitchen of one of the most gracious ladies I ever met. She didn't speak a word of English and my Spanish was sketchey at best. Yet she still let me get in her way as she cooked. I learned the recipe without the potatoes, but having eaten steak & potato tacos before, I knew I could "authentically" stretch this dish by including them. In fact, I like the dish with the added potatoes so much, I have only prepared it once without the potatoes.

Provided by ATM 67

Categories     Steak

Time 1h

Yield 20-40 Tacos, depending if you stretch it.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs flank steaks, Cut into 1/2 Inch Cubes (Brisket can be substituted)
2 tablespoons lard (cooking oil can be substituted)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 medium bell pepper, Medium Dice
1 medium tomatoes, Freshly Pureed
2 -3 slices of thick sliced bacon (I have used as much as a 12 oz. package.)
1/4 cup of picked cilantro leaf
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons vinegar, from jarred jalapeno peppers
4 chicken bouillon cubes
1 -3 lb peeled potato, Cut into 1/2 inch Cubes (optional)
40 soft tortillas (I prefer corn)

Steps:

  • In a large pot (4 quarts or larger) on high heat combine the lard, your cubed steak, bacon and pepper. Sear your steak. Stir frequently to prevent the meat from burning.
  • When meat is seared, reduce heat to medium high and add all ingredients, except the vinegar. If you are going to stretch the dish with potatoes, add them at this point and add the bouillon cubes when some of the fluid begins to cook out of your potatoes. This will make it easier for the bouillon cubes to dissolve.
  • Stir constantly for about five minutes. **If adding potatoes, stir until your potatoes are cooked, and you are just beginning to make mashed potatoes.
  • Add Vinegar and reduce heat somewhere between medium-low and low, stirring periodically. Reduce the fluid in the pot so your taco filling will not be too wet for your tortillas.
  • Warm your tortillas and serve plain or with any (or all) of the following -- Mexican table cream, cilantro & onions, salsa. ** If you make this without the potatoes, you might consider using two tortillas per taco.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: Flank steak or skirt steak are great options for grilled steak tacos because they are flavorful and relatively inexpensive. You can also use hanger steak or sirloin steak, if you prefer.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, lime juice, and cumin, or you can get creative and try a more complex marinade.
  • Grill the steak over high heat: This will help to create a nice char on the steak and lock in the juices. If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the steak in a grill pan over high heat.
  • Slice the steak thinly against the grain: This will make the steak more tender and easier to eat.
  • Assemble the tacos: Place the steak slices in a tortilla and top with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Vietnamese grilled steak tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying taco that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner option, give Vietnamese grilled steak tacos a try!
