  • 2 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

  • Place the steak in a bowl or ziplock with all of the ingredients. Shake it up and let marinate in the fridge for 2hrs to overnight.

  • When ready to cook, pat the steak to wipe off some of the marinade. Cut the steak into smaller pieces if needed to make it easier for cooking. Season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Once hot add about 1 tbsp of cooking oil. Add the steak and cook until desired temperature. For steak tacos, I like my steak to be medium. It should be around 3-4 min per side, depending on the thickness of the steak. I take the steak out at around 135 degrees because the temperature will continue to rise while the steak is resting.

  • Let rest for 10 minutes before cutting into it. Cut against the grain. Serve with tortillas and toppings of choice. I love cotija cheese, salsa verde and cilantro.
