Flat Iron Steak Tacos Recipes

STEAK TACOS {CROCK POT}

Steps:

• Spray your crock pot with cooking spray
• Put your steak in the bottom of your crock pot
• Mix together your seasonings and sprinkle on top of your steak
• Place your tomatoes around your steak
• Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours
• Place your steak in a large bowl and shred with two forks
• Put your shredded steak back in your crock pot and drain any excessive juice
• Spoon into taco shells and top with favorite taco toppings

CARNE ASADA

Steps:

• In a dish large enough to hold the steak, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, vegetable oil, sugar, cumin, chili powder, and garlic.
• Using a fork, poke holes about an inch apart all over the steak on one side only. Place the steak in the marinade and turn to coat evenly (it doesn't matter which side is up). Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours, turning the steak at least once.
• Lightly oil the grill grates and preheat the grill to high. Grill the steak, covered, for 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let the meat rest on a cutting board, tented with aluminum foil, for about 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain and serve.
• Note: You may need to buy 2 separate flat iron steaks to get 2 pounds. Even if you're able to find one large steak, it's best to cut it in half into two smaller steaks -- they will cook faster and you'll have more surface area to char on the grill (we fight over the charred end pieces!).

PERFECT FLAT IRON STEAK

Steps:

• Place the steak inside of a large resealable bag. In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, garlic, parsley, rosemary, chives, Cabernet, salt, pepper and mustard powder. Pour over the steak in the bag. Press out as much air as you can and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the steak in the hot skillet for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or to your desired degree of doneness. Discard the marinade. These steaks taste best at medium rare. Allow them to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

GRILLED STEAK TACOS

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.
• Add the orange juice, garlic cloves, chipotle peppers and adobo sauce, cilantro, cumin, cinnamon and kosher salt into a blender. Puree until smooth then pour into the freezer bag with the steak, seal and refrigerate for 1 hour up to overnight.
• Let the steak come to room temperature before grilling, about 20 minutes. Oil grates with grapeseed oil and preheat it on high heat.
• 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.

FLAT-IRON STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Heat broiler to high, with rack 4 inches from heat. Line a large rimmed baking sheet or broiler pan with aluminum foil. In a medium bowl, combine cabbage, lime juice, and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Let stand for 10 minutes (or refrigerate, up to overnight).
• Meanwhile, sprinkle steaks with cumin; season with salt and pepper. Place on prepared baking sheet, and broil 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a plate; cover loosely with foil, and let rest 5 minutes. Thinly slice crosswise.
• Stack tortillas, and wrap in a double layer of damp paper towels; microwave until hot, about 1 minute. Alternatively, holding each tortilla with tongs, lightly toast over a low flame. To assemble, fill tortillas with steak, and top with cabbage slaw, cheddar, and salsa.

Steps:

• Mix olive oil, Cabernet, mustard powder, garlic, chives, parsley, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Put the steak inside of a large, resealable bag and pour the marinade mixture over the bag. Before sealing, press on the bag to remove as much air as possible. Place bag in the refrigerator to marinate for 2-3 hours.
• Heat a nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. (Medium-rare is recommended for the best taste.) If you desire a higher level of doneness, leave slightly longer and check frequently. Move steaks to a plate and throw out the marinade. Allow steaks to sit for about five minutes before serving.
