2 lb sirloin or flank steak
Grill seasoning (or salt and pepper)
2 limes, cut into wedges
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 bunch cilantro
12 corn tortillas
Pico de Gallo (optional)
Slice beef thinly across the grain. In a frying pan over high heat add a tbsp of oil. You want the pan hot so it sears the beef. Add 1/3 of the beef, seasoning well with grill seasoning (or salt and pepper. Authentic taco's are made just with salt, but the grill seasoning gives it an added "oomph" that is really great.) When the beef is browned remove from pan; this should only take a couple minutes. Continue to cook the rest of the beef in batches. When the beef comes out of the pan squeeze lime juice all over.
*Alternatively, you can sprinkle your favorite steak with the grill seasoning and throw it onto a hot BBQ for 3-5 minutes per side (as per your liking). Remove the steak from the grill and squeeze with fresh lime. Let sit for a few minutes to let the juices redistribute, then slice the steak thinly across the grain. I like to cook the meat this way in the summertime when I can be outside.
In a dry pan over medium heat, warm a corn tortilla. We like to heat them as we make them so we keep getting up and down from the table to heat up a tortilla and then assemble and eat. If you don't want to do this, just put a stack of them on a plate with a damp towel over top and microwave for a few seconds.
To assemble a taco, lay beef across the tortilla and sprinkle over onions. Squeeze a wedge of lime over. Scoop on some guacamole and finish with a few sprigs of cilantro. I'm not a fan of raw onions, so I like to eat mine with beef, guacamole, pico de gallo and cilantro.
