Grilled Steak Tacos Recipe

These grilled steak tacos are perfect for summer entertaining! Inspired by the vibrant flavors of Mexican carne asado, the steak is marinated in citrus juice and spices and then grilled until charred and smoky on the outside and perfectly pink and tender on the inside. Pile on charred veggies, refreshing mango, creamy avocado, and crumbly feta and you've got yourself the ultimate BBQ taco recipe!

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, cumin, coriander, garlic, and sea salt. Place the steak in a baking dish and pour in the marinade. Place it in your fridge and let it marinate for 3-24 hours.
  2. Preheat the grill to high. Make sure it is very very hot. Take the steak out of the marinade and place it on a plate and pour the marinade into a small pan. If you're using it, sprinkle the optional brown sugar over the steak. This will help it to char better.
  3. Place the steak on the BBQ and grill for 3-4 minutes per side. Take the steak off and set it aside to rest. Slice thinly across the grain.
  4. Toss the veggies in oil and BBQ until tender. Warm the tortillas on the grill.
  5. While the veggies are grilling, bring the reserved marinade to a boil and boil rapidly until reduced to a thin syrup.
  6. Pile the veggies and steak onto the tortillas, top with mango, avocado, feta, and a little drizzle of the reduced marinade.

Notes

  • Note: prep time does not include the time it takes to marinate the steak.
