Ingredients

  • Beef flank steak - 300 grams
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Cumin - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
  • Fresh cilantro - 1/2 cup, chopped
  • Jalapeño pepper - 1 small, seeded and chopped
  • Garlic - 1 clove, minced
  • Greek yogurt - 2 tablespoons
  • Water - 2 tablespoons

Steps

  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the beef flank steak and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. While the beef is marinating, prepare the salsa by blending fresh cilantro, jalapeño pepper, minced garlic, Greek yogurt, and water until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
  3. Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated beef for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness.
  4. Remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet until soft and pliable.
  6. Assemble the tacos by placing sliced beef on each tortilla and drizzling with the cilantro salsa. Serve immediately.
