These steak tacos are made with flank steak marinated in an easy marinade and then grilled to perfection. It’s tucked into warm tortillas with your favorite toppings for a perfect meal.
Steak for Tacos
Steak tacos are an easy meal and a great variation from ground beef tacos! Add your favorite toppings. Choose any cut of beef that’s intended for grilling. For this recipe, I prefer flank steak, which works great in dishes like Mongolian beef or fajitas. Skirt steak, ribeye, or sirloin steak are also delicious (marinate sirloin or ribeye for only 1 hour).
Marinade for Steak Tacos
Marination cuts of beef like flank steak or skirt steak both tenderizes them and adds flavor. I create a simple marinade with fresh orange and lime juice for acidity and a bit of cilantro for freshness.
Juice: Fresh lime and orange juice add flavor, and the acidity makes the steak tender. Oil: Oil adds moisture and helps distribute the flavorings evenly. Flavor: Salt, pepper, and cumin season the steak, while garlic and cilantro add flavor.
Feel free to add seasonings like smoked paprika, chili powder, onion powder, oregano, or red pepper flakes.
