These flavorful, seasoned beef tacos are extra amazing with some homemade pickled vegetables on top.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds flank steak, trimmed
- ¼ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ bunch cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 8-10 corn tortillas
- ½ cup Pickled Carrots, Onion & Jalapeño
- Chopped cilantro, for garnish
Preparation
Place trimmed flank steak in a shallow dish and set aside.
To make the marinade, combine citrus juices, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper in a small work bowl. Pour marinade over steak and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours. Flip steak over halfway through for even marination.
Remove flank steak from refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling. Heat grill to medium-high. Grill steak 4-5 minutes per side, rotating 90 degrees halfway through to create diamond grill marks. Remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing thin against the grain.
To assemble tacos, place sliced carne asada on warm tortillas, top with about 1 tablespoon Pickled Carrots, Onion & Jalapeño and garnish with chopped cilantro.
