Ingredients

• Beef flank steak - 300 grams
• Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
• Pineapple - 100 grams, diced
• Tamarind paste - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 small, diced
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges

Steps

1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the beef flank steak to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the beef is browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
3. In the same skillet, add diced pineapple and tamarind paste. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the pineapple to caramelize slightly and the sauce to thicken.
4. Slice the beef thinly and return it to the skillet with the tamarind and pineapple sauce, mixing well to coat the beef in the sauce.
5. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave. Once warmed, fill each tortilla with the beef and sauce mixture.
6. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
