Ingredients

  • Beef flank steak - 300 grams
  • Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
  • Pineapple - 150 grams (fresh, diced)
  • Fresh cilantro - 30 grams (chopped)
  • Red onion - 50 grams (finely chopped)
  • Lime - 1 (juiced)
  • Garlic - 2 cloves (minced)
  • Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Salt - to taste
  • Black pepper - to taste
  • Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Cumin - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine diced pineapple, chopped cilantro, red onion, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.
  2. While the salsa is marinating, season the beef flank steak with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper on both sides.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned beef and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired doneness.
  4. Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or directly over the flame until soft and pliable.
  6. Assemble the tacos by placing slices of beef on each tortilla, and topping with the pineapple-cilantro salsa.
  7. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
