Ingredients

  • Beef flank steak - 250 grams
  • Taco corn tortillas - 4 pieces
  • Tamarind paste - 2 tablespoons
  • Fresh ginger, grated - 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
  • Onion, finely chopped - 1 small
  • Cilantro, chopped - 2 tablespoons
  • Lime, juiced - 1 lime
  • Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Salt - 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Water - 150 ml

Steps

  1. In a medium bowl, combine tamarind paste, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
  2. Cut the beef flank steak into thin strips and add to the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the marinated beef along with the marinade to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through and tender.
  5. Add water to the skillet and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave.
  7. To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the beef mixture onto each tortilla and garnish with chopped cilantro.
  8. Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
