Ingredients:
For the Flank Steak:
- 1 ½ lbs flank steak
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lime, juiced
For the Tacos:
- 12 mini flour tortillas
- 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 red onion, finely diced
- 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions:
1. Marinate the Flank Steak:
- In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, black pepper, and lime juice until well combined.
- Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the steak is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
2. Broil the Flank Steak:
- Preheat your oven’s broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler.
- Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
- Place the steak on a broiler pan or a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Broil the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
- Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
3. Warm the Tortillas:
- Turn on a stove burner to medium heat.
- Place each mini flour tortilla directly on the burner for about 10-15 seconds per side, until they are warm, slightly charred, and pliable. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
4. Assemble the Tacos:
- Place a few slices of the broiled flank steak onto each warm tortilla.
- Top with fresh cilantro, diced red onion, and chopped tomatoes.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side for a bright, fresh finish.
5. Serve:
- Enjoy these Flank Steak Tacos, with their tender, flavorful meat and fresh toppings. The slightly charred tortillas add an extra layer of flavor, making these tacos irresistible. Squeeze a bit of lime juice over the top, and savor every bite!
