Report
This Carne Asada Tacos recipe makes the perfect filling for street tacos with succulent grilled flank steak and delicious toppings.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup Kikkoman Lime Ponzu sauce
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 4 garlic cloves crushed
- 2 pounds flank or skirt steak
- 12 flour or corn tortillas whatever your preference
Instructions
- Make the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the ponzu sauce, lime juice, and garlic.
- Place the steak in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over. Allow the steak to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
- When you're ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill or an indoor grill pan. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Cook the steak to your desired degree of doneness (we like ours medium well).
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Slice the steak across the grain into 1/4 to 1/2-inch slices.
- Serve with warm tortillas, pico de gallo, guacamole, and your choice of optional toppings.
Notes
- Traditional toppings for these street tacos include chopped onions, cilantro, salsa, and lime wedges.
- Freeze the cooked and sliced meat in a tightly sealed container or freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
- While flank steak and skirt steak are the traditional choices, sirloin also works well.
