Instructions
Cook the steak:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients and then transfer the mixture to a large zip-top bag. Add the steak and onion slices. Turn to coat and seal the bag. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Remove the bag from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you begin cooking.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak slices for 6 to 9 minutes, flipping the pieces to cook them evenly. Transfer the steak to a plate, leaving the juices in the skillet.
- Add the onion slices to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring constantly, until golden and caramelized, 7 to 9 minutes. Add the steak back to the skillet to heat through.
Make the Mexican Chimichurri:
- In a food processor, pulse the jalapeño, garlic, and onion several times, until chopped. Add the cilantro and parsley and pulse again. Add the oil, lime, cumin, and salt. Pulse until combined.
- Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Assemble the tacos:
- Assemble each taco by layering the steak and grilled onion on a tortilla, then topping with Mexican chimichurri and pico de gallo. Serve with pickled jalapeños and onions on the side, if desired.
Notes
- If you prefer grilled steak, don't slice it first. Grill the steak for 5 to 7 minutes per side to reach your desired doneness. Then slice the steak thinly against the grain and assemble the tacos.
