mexican steak tacos

¡Tacos de Bistec!! Or Mexican Steak tacos. If you have been to Mexico you have seen the taco stands at night with lights hanging from the roof, and people around it like bees on a honeypot.&nbsp;

Mexican Steak Tacos

corn tortillas

vegetable oil

onion

cilantro

Salt and pepper

spicy salsa to top the tacos

salt

On a heavy skillet at medium high heat add the vegetable oil. Place the steak when the oil is hot and brown the steaks.

Cook for about 2 minutes and turn. If you are making several steaks, wrap the cooked ones in aluminum foil and keep warm in an oven while you finish cooking the rest of the steaks. Do not over cook.

While the steaks finish cooking, start warming the tortillas in a medium heat skillet and wrap them in a kitchen towel.

Chop the meat into small pieces and place some of the meat into each warm tortilla. (Some taco stands warm their tortillas in the same skillet the meat was cooked to absorb the flavor and some also add more oil to the skillet while warming the tortillas). Top each taco with the chopped onion and cilantro.

Add the chopped steak to the skillet. Mix and serve on warm corn tortillas, top with chopped cilantro and onion. Now, you are ready to enjoy a real taco!

Marinate

To a large zip top plastic bag, add the steak, taco seasoning, lime juice, olive oil, seal bag, squish contents around, and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, up to 8 hours.

Cook

Preheat outdoor grill to medium high (alternatively, use an indoor grill pan or cast iron skillet to cook the steak), add the steak, and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until as done as desired.

Rest

Allow meat to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Divide

Marinade and Tacos:

Blend

To the canister of a blender, add the cilantro, jalapeños, olive oil, enough lime juice to get the blender going, and process on high speed until smooth.

Season

Taste the salsa and if desired, add a pinch of salt and/or sugar until desired flavor balance is achieved.

Serve

Add as much blender salsa, Ortega prepared salsa(s), pico de gallo, and optional serving items to the tacos as desired and serve immediately.

Salsa:

These were absolutely fabulous and I really love the marinade for the meat! It had a ton of great  flavor. We got the deck finished but didn't get the grill put back together before the rain hit so I ended up cooking the steak in my cast iron skillet.  Crazy weather!
