 Flank Steak Tacos

 

Superb steak is a great change from the ground hamburger taco...
 

3 tsp 

 

vegetable oil, divided

 

2 tsp 

 

dried Mexican oregano

 

½ tsp 

 

Kosher salt

 

½ tsp 

 

cayenne pepper

 

¼ tsp 

 

black pepper

 

2 cloves 

 

garlic, minced

 

1½ lbs 

 

flank steak, fat trimmed

 

3 cups 

 

vertically sliced onion (about 2 medium onions)

 

2 cups 

 

red and yellow bell pepper strips (about 2 large BP)

 

2 jalapeño 

 

peppers, seeded and halved lengthwise, thinly sliced

 

 

 

flour tortillas

 

 

1

Combine 1 t. oil and next 5 ingredients in a bowl. Rub steaks with garlic-oil mixture; place in a large zip-top plastic bag. Seal; marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour, or overnight.

2

Lightly spray rack of grill with cooking spray. Heat to medium high.

3

Heat remaining 2 t. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño; sauté 5 minutes. Keep warm.

4

Place steak on grill, and cook 4 minutes on each side (only turning once), or until desired degree of doneness. Let stand for 10 minutes on a cutting board before slicing crosswise (against grain) into 1/3" thick slices.

5

Heat tortillas in a covered casserole in 300° oven until warm and pliable. Place a small amount of meat in each tortilla; top with onion-pepper mixture.

Top with desired condiments such as guacamole, sour cream, tomatoes and cheese.
