steak street tacos

Tri tip steak marinade for tacos! Served with simple street taco style fixings – onions, cilantro and lime. It only takes about 15 minutes to prep the steak and marinade, and is very freezer-friendly!

Tri Tip Street Tacos

lb tri tip steaks (or similar)

white onion (diced (~¼ large onion))

8-10 extra small flour tortillas corn

cilantro

lime

chicken stock

lime juice

olive oil

Worcestershire sauce

tsp salt

onion powder

paprika

tsp chili powder

garlic powder

tsp cumin

tsp black pepper

Combine all ingredients of the marinade. Trim excess fat from the steaks if desired and place in a zip bag with the marinade. Marinate in fridge for at least 6 hours before cooking (preferably overnight).

When ready to cook, remove the steak from the bag and discard the rest of the marinade (shake off excess but do not pat the steaks dry). Grill steak to desired doneness, or cook in a cast iron pan with a swirl of olive oil.  I cook in mine in a cast iron pan over high heat, turning every few minutes, until an internal temp of 135°F, about 8-10  minutes.  (Note, the marinade may cause some additional charring on the outside, but this contributes to the flavor and isn&#39;t noticeable after slicing)

Let the steak rest for a few minutes, then slice into small pieces as pictured. Toss the steak in the juices after cutting.

Meanwhile, warm flour tortillas over medium-low heat in a skillet for about 30 seconds per side, or for a few seconds in the microwave. For corn tortillas, give a pair of tortillas a quick dip in water or chicken stock then place in a pan over medium heat (still stacked). Cook for about 30 seconds, then flip the stack and cook for about 30 seconds more. Keep the pair of corn tortillas together and use them to make one taco. Tent with foil to keep warm as you work through all the tortillas.

Divide the steak evenly between the tortillas, then top with onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime to taste.

Trim steaks and prepare appropriate quantity of marinade. Package steaks, in marinade, in a freezer safe zip bag or vacuum bag. Package size should be the quantity you will want to defrost at a time (I do 1 lb).

Place marinated steak packs in the freezer directly after preparing.

To prepare in bulk for freezer:

Defrost steak at least 6 hours before you plan to cook it, giving the steak time to marinate. I suggest moving from the freezer to fridge the night before.

Follow the rest of the recipe as written, preparing the topping ingredients fresh.

To prepare from frozen:

Great flavor! Works for tacos, sandwiches, salads, or we would even just slice this and eat it plain as a steak! We have made them a couple times now and the meat comes out really well when you do it as a sous vide too.

Hi there, I enjoy reading all of your posts!

This is exactly what I was looking for, they're SO good. I saw that you made the tortillas for the ones in the photos, do you have a recipe posted for those?

I never comment but this was INCREDIBLE!  The combination of this cut of steak + the marinade was everything I've been looking for in a taco recipe. I already can't wait to make this again. Thank you!!

Fantastic! I've made these 3 times already

Oh my goodness! an incredible article dude.

I've been looking for a certain kind of street taco flavor in a recipe for such a long time, nothing else I tried quite hit the spot for some reason but, this recipe was like the answer to a taco lovers dreams. My whole family tried it and from the first bites in all we could talk about was how much we already wanted it again and it would become a regular meal in our house. The marinade is SO tasty it will leave you thinking about it and craving it on the days you tell yourself you have to eat something else because you can't have tacos every day. Directions were easy to follow and for anyone reading, we did marinate overnight to get the best flavor.

11 out of 10! Heavenly tacos! Perfect marinade, perfect flavors, perfect meal!
