Instructions

Make El Griego Sauce:

  1. Grate the cucumber and garlic clove into a bowl. Add the yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and dill. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Make the Cucumber Salsa:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, Kalamata olives, grape tomatoes, lime juice, jalapeño, garlic, and cilantro. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

Cook the steak:

  1. In a small bowl, mix the cumin, paprika, and ½ teaspoon salt. Season the steak with the mixture on both sides, then brush olive oil over the steak.
  2. Preheat a grill or heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 5 to 7 minutes on the first side, flip, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  3. Transfer the steak to a plate, cover, and let it rest for 15 minutes. Slice the steak thinly against the grain.

Serve:

  1. To serve, place 2 or 3 steak slices on each tortilla. Top each taco with 1 to 2 tablespoons Cucumber Salsa and drizzle with some sauce.
