Servings: 12 tacos
Calories: 228kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lbs flank steak
- ½ cup ghee or beef tallow melted
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1 cup cilantro leaves, chopped a few handfuls
- 1 lime sliced into wedges
- ½ a large white onion sliced thinly
- Mexican crema for topping each taco (optional) or sour cream
- Your favorite hot sauce
- sea salt and black pepper for seasoning steak
Instructions
- Place a large cast iron griddle or pan on the stove, on high heat.
- Add about 2 teaspoons of tallow or ghee to the steak and rub all over.
- Very generously season the steak with salt and pepper.
- Place the steak onto the hot griddle/pan and cook for about 5 min per side.
- Remove from heat and let rest while you prepare the tortillas.
- In a small pot/pan on high heat, add about 2 tablespoons ghee or tallow. When the oil heats up, add a tortilla for about 10 seconds per side and place onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and add more ghee/tallow to the pot as needed.
- Slice the steak against the grain and then cut the strips into smaller 1-inch pieces for the tacos.
- Assemble the tacos: Add steak, onion, and cilantro to a tortilla. Squeeze a bit of lime onto each taco. Top with hot sauce and Mexican crema or sour cream. Enjoy!
