Flank Steak Tacos Recipe
A delicious hearty meal full of flavor
Ingredients
- Trim the steak.
- 1, large flank steak, trimmed of fat as best you can.
- 2 medium or large onions
- 3 peppers, red, yellow or golden.
- zest and juice of a lime
- salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Olive oil
- Sides.
- Salsa
- Sour cream
- Sliced avocado
- Fresh cilantro
- Grated cheese
Directions
- At least 1/2 hour before you want to cook the steak, whisk together the olive oil, salt and pepper, lime zest and red pepper flakes.
- Pour into a large zip lock bag. Place the steak into the bag with the marinade.
- Slice the onions and peppers and set aside.
- Heat a griddle pan, if you have one, or a large non stick frying pan if not. Do not put oil on the pan as it will smoke.
- When it's really hot, lay the steak down on the pan. Add the onions and peppers and cook on a high heat.
- I cooked the steak for about 4 minutes a side, it was still pretty pink in the middle
- Remove the steak to a platter, squeeze lime juice all over it, cover with aluminium foil and allow to rest while the onions and peppers continue cooking.
- Heat your taco shells in the oven and get your sides ready. I served sour cream, chopped tomatoes, grated cheese, avocado, salsa and lots of fresh cilantro.
- Slice the meat and pile into the tacos or wraps to make a fajita and watch them disappear.
