Citrus Marinated Steak and Pepper Tacos Recipe

It has been way too long since I have shared a taco recipe, especially since although I haven't been sharing taco recipes my taco consumption has only increased as it gets hotter outside. They are just the ideal summer food in my opinion - easy to cook, packed with fresh ingredients, and perfect for a crowd. And while I have been eating these Ancho Fish Tacos almost weekly, last week we decided to switch it up and make some steak tacos.

To make sure they have plenty of flavor, I like to start with a marinade of lime juice, orange juice, cilantro, garlic, jalapeno, and soy sauce. You could use salt instead, but I like the earthiness soy sauce adds. Then after everything hangs out in the marinade for an hour, the steak takes a quick trip to the grill and is ready in under 15 minutes. For the beef, usually I use flank steak but you could also use sirloin, hanger, flatiron, or skirt steak. Then just add your favorite toppings and dinner is ready.

Instructions

(Hide Photos)
1

Marinate the steak in the lime juice, orange juice, cilantro, garlic cloves, jalapeno, soy sauce, cumin, and pepper for at least 1 hour but no more than 4 hours. The steak begins to break down from the citrus if marinated too long.

2

When ready to cook, cook the steak on a hot grill for about 5-6 minutes each side for medium. At the same time, place the whole peppers on the grill and rotate every few minutes.

3

Let the steak rest for 10 minutes and then slice into thin, bite size pieces. Meanwhile, peel the charred skin off the peppers and remove the seeds. Chop into bite size pieces.

4

Warm the tortillas on the grill and top with your favorite toppings - cilantro, onions, salsa, guacamole, radishes, cheese, tomatoes, or sour cream.
