Ingredients

  • Beef flank steak - 250 grams
  • Cilantro - 1 cup, tightly packed
  • Garlic - 2 cloves
  • Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
  • Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Cumin - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
  • Onion - 1/2, diced
  • Radishes - 4, thinly sliced
  • Salsa verde - 1/4 cup

Steps

  1. In a blender, combine cilantro, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create the marinade.
  2. Place the beef flank steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the beef is well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  4. Once cooked, let the beef rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
  5. While the beef is resting, warm the corn tortillas on a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.
  6. Assemble the tacos by placing sliced beef on each tortilla and topping with diced onion, radishes, and a drizzle of salsa verde.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your Tacos de Res al Cilantro!
