Street-Style Steak Tacos with Salsa Cups

Taqueria-style tacos built on doubled soft tortillas and piled with small, well-seared cubes of lime and garlic marinated steak. Chopped white onion and cilantro keep things bright, while little cups of salsa and a lime wedge let everyone dial up the heat. Serve with a bowl of crunchy tortilla chips.

Method 5 steps

  1. Rub the steak with lime juice, garlic, cumin, 1 tbsp oil and 1 tsp salt. Let it sit for 15 minutes at room temperature.

  2. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke. Sear the steak for 3 to 4 minutes per side until well charred and 130 F inside.

  3. Rest the steak for 5 minutes, then cut it against the grain into thin strips and chop those into small cubes. Toss with any juices on the board.

  4. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side until soft and lightly spotted, then stack them in pairs.

  5. Fill each pair with steak and top with diced onion and cilantro. Serve with salsa cups, lime wedges and tortilla chips on the side.
