Taos Steak Recipes

MEXICAN STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• 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!

AUTHENTIC CARNE ASADA + STREET TACOS

Steps:

• In a large shallow bowl or casserole dish, combine the marinade ingredients: lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce, olive oil, chopped cilantro, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Place Flank Steak into the marinade and turn several times to coat.
• Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours and preferably overnight. Turn the steak once while marinating.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place marinated steak onto the hot grill and cook 3-5 minutes per side, flipping once or until the steak has reached the desired doneness (145˚F for medium-rare and 160˚F for medium doneness).
• Remove from the grill, tent with foil, and rest 5-10 minutes then thinly slice against the grain.
