Ingredients
- Beef flank steak - 300 grams
- Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
- Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
- Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
- Cumin - 1 teaspoon
- Oregano - 1 teaspoon
- Salt - 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
- Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
- Shredded cheese (queso fresco or similar) - 100 grams
- Sour cream - 2 tablespoons
- Salsa verde - 100 grams
- Fresh cilantro - for garnish
Steps
- In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
- Place the flank steak in the marinade, ensuring it is well-coated, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- While the steak is marinating, heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated flank steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
- In the same skillet, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until soft.
- To assemble, place a few slices of steak on each tortilla, top with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa verde.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
