Grilled Steak Tacos With Cherry Tomato-Avocado Salsa image

In this supremely summery taco recipe, chile-rubbed grilled steak is topped with a spicy tomato-avocado salsa before being rolled into warm corn tortillas.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 1/2 teaspoons New Mexican or other mild chile powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 large garlic clove, finely grated or minced
Finely grated zest of 1 lime (cut lime into wedges for serving)
2 1/2 pounds skirt steak (usually 2 steaks)
1 white onion, peeled and sliced into 1-inch-thick slices
2 large garlic cloves, unpeeled
2 jalapeños
1 quart cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 avocado, diced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves and stems
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice, more to taste
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
Corn or flour tortillas, for serving
Sliced radishes, for serving
Mexican crema or sour cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the steak: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, chile powder, coriander, cumin, garlic and lime zest. Rub mixture all over the steaks, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
  • Prepare the salsa: Light the grill or heat to medium-high (or heat the broiler). Grill onion, garlic and 1 jalapeño until tender and charred on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes (or place on a broiler pan and broil). Remove from heat until cool enough to handle, then roughly chop onions, peel garlic and remove seeds and stem from jalapeño.
  • Transfer grilled onion, garlic and jalapeño to a blender or mini food processor. Halve the fresh jalapeño and seed it, if desired, then add it to the blender. Process to a chunky paste. Scrape into a serving bowl and toss with tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, lime juice and salt.
  • Add more charcoal to the grill, if needed, and grill the steaks until done to taste, about 2 minutes per side for rare (or broil). Let meat rest on a cutting board covered with foil for at least 7 minutes. Meanwhile, grill or broil the tortillas until warm.
  • To serve, slice the meat across the grain, and serve with the warm tortillas, radishes, lime wedges, salsa and crema. Let people assemble their own tacos at the table.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK TACOS WITH ROASTED POBLANO RAJAS



Grilled Skirt Steak Tacos with Roasted Poblano Rajas image

Provided by Rick Bayless

Categories     Beef     Onion     Pepper     Lime     Fall     Grill/Barbecue

Yield Makes 12 tacos, serving 4 as a light meal

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 medium white onions, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds (keep the rounds intact for easy grilling)
3 garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon cumin, preferably freshly ground
Salt
1 pound beef skirt steak, trimmed of surface fat as well as the thin white membrane called "silverskin"
Vegetable or olive oil for brushing or spritzing the onions and meat
A small bowlful of lime wedges for serving
12 warm, fresh corn tortillas (See how to reheat corn tortillas )

Steps:

  • 1. Marinating the Meat. In a food processor or blender combine one-quarter of the onions, the garlic, lime juice, cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Process to a smooth puree. Place the skirt steak in a nonaluminum baking dish. Using a spoon, smear the marinade over both sides of the skirt steak. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
  • 2. Making the Grilled Chile-and-Onion Rajas. Turn on the oven to its lowest setting. Heat a gas grill to medium high or light a charcoal fire and let it burn just until the coals are covered with gray ash and very hot. Either turn the burner(s) in the center of the grill to medium-low or bank the coals to the sides of the grill for indirect cooking. Set the cooking grate in place, cover the grill and let the grate heat up, 5 minutes or so.
  • Lay the chiles on the hottest part of the grill, and cook, turning occasionally until the skin is blistered and uniformly blackened all over, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to char the flesh, only the skin. Remove the chiles from the grill and cover with a kitchen towel.
  • While the chiles are roasting, brush or spray the remaining onion slice with oil and lay the whole rounds of onions on the grill in a cooler spot than you chose for the chiles. When they're starting to soften and are browned on the first side, about 10 minutes, use a spatula to flip them and brown the other side. Transfer to an ovenproof serving dish and separate the rings (if they haven't started separating during grilling).
  • 3. Grilling the Meat. Remove the steak from the marinade and gently shake off the excess. Oil the steak well on both sides and lay it over the hottest part of the grill. Grill, turning once, until richly browned and done to your liking, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side for medium-rare (the way I like skirt steak).
  • 4. Serving the tacos. Cut the long piece of skirt steak into 3-to 4-inch lengths, then cut each section across the grain (that is, in line with the full length of the steak) into thin strips. Mix with the chiles and onions, season with a little salt and set on the table along with the lime wedges and hot tortillas, for your guests to make into soft tacos.
  • Working Ahead: Thin steaks like skirt taste best with a relatively short tour in the marinade - 1 to 8 hours. Leave them longer, and the marinade overpowers the flavor and saps the rosy color of the meat. The poblano-and-onion rajas can be made several hours ahead and left at room temperature; rewarm before serving. The steak, of course, must be grilled just before you're ready to eat.

Categories     Tropical Fruits

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 teaspoon pure chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 lbs flank steaks, trimmed of fat
16 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1 small pineapple (3-3 1/2 pounds)
1 small red onion, diced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 fresh jalapenos or 1/2 serrano chile, seeded and minced

Steps:

  • For the marinade: In a small bowl, mix the spices, salt, pepper, lime juice, and oil to make a paste. Place the steak in a shallow dish and rub the paste evenly over both sides. Cover and let marinate for 1 to 4 hours.
  • For the salsa: Light a charcoal grill about 30 minutes before you're ready to cook or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
  • Slice off the leafy top of the pineapple and just enough of the bottom so the fruit rests flat on a cutting board. Slice off the skin with a sharp knife, cutting from top to bottom and taking off as little of the flesh as possible, rotating the pineapple as you go. Discard the skin. Cut out any "eyes" with a paring knife and discard. Slice the fruit away from the core in 4 or 5 slabs.
  • Place the pineapple slabs on the hot grill and grill until the fruit is just beginning to show some browning, 1 to 2 minutes per side, 4 to 5 minutes per side if you want it charred.
  • Let the pineapple cool for a few minutes, then dice. In a medium bowl, mix the diced pineapple, onion, cilantro, lime juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and chile and blend well.
  • To cook the steak: Grill the steak for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or slightly longer for well-done meat. Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  • Meanwhile, place the tortillas on the hot grill and grill for 10 seconds on each side, then wrap in a cloth napkin to keep them warm.
  • Slice the steak across the grain into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange on a serving platter. Place the tortillas and the bowl of salsa on the table and serve family-style.

Categories     Sandwich     Beef     Shellfish     Quick & Easy     Backyard BBQ     Tailgating     Healthy

Yield 8 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the Salsa Fresca:
2 large heirloom or beefsteak tomatoes, chopped into small bite size pieces
1 medium size avocado, peeled, seeded and diced
2 large green onions (white and light green parts), chopped
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 heaping tablespoon cilantro, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon light olive or vegetable oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
For the Quesadillas:
1 - 8 ounce bacon wrapped beef fillet steak, approximately 1" thick
1 - 8 ounce lobster tail, shell removed
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon light olive or vegetable oil, divided
2 - 1" thick slices from a medium to large sweet yellow onion
3 large jalapeno peppers, remove seeds and membranes for a milder flavor
8 - 8" flour tortillas
8 ounces grated quesadilla cheese
2 tablespoons butter, softened to room temperature
2 cups chopped romaine hearts and baby arugula blend

Steps:

  • Place all of the salsa ingredients into a medium size bowl. Gently mix well to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium high. Season the fillet and the lobster tail with salt and pepper to taste; set aside. Mix the lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of the oil and sprinkle over the lobster; run a metal or wooden skewer (that has been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes) through the middle and set aside. Skewer the onion and jalapeno peppers. Brush with one teaspoon of the oil. Place the onion and jalapeno and the fillet skewers toward the center or hottest part of the grill. Grill each skewer for approximately 5 minutes on each side. Just before turning the steak, place the lobster tail on the hottest part of the grill next to the steak. Grill the lobster for approximately 3 minutes on each side or the tail turns opaque and brown around the edges. Remove the meat and vegetables when done, transfer to a cutting board; cover and allow resting for five minutes or so. After resting, cut the fillet, lobster, onion and jalapeno into small bite size pieces; set aside and keep warm until ready to use. Lay the tortillas in a single layer on flat, clean surface. Sprinkle each of the tortillas with equal amounts of the grated cheese. To one side of the tortilla, sprinkle equal amounts of the steak, lobster, onion and jalapeno. Fold the tortilla in half and spread the outside with equal amounts of the butter; set aside. Clean the hot grill with a grill brush. Place the quesadillas onto the hot grill and, watching very carefully, toast on both sides until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted on the inside. Remove from the heat and transfer to a serving platter and allow cooling for 3 minutes or just until they are hot but cool enough to handle. Open tacos up with your fingers and stuff with equal amounts of the lettuce and arugula blend and top with desired amounts of the Salsa Fresca.

GRILLED STEAK TACOS WITH AVOCADO CHIMICHURRI SAUCE



GRILLED STEAK TACOS WITH AVOCADO CHIMICHURRI SAUCE image

Categories     Pepper

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1.75 lbs sirloin steak (2 good size steaks)
2 sweet onions, sliced thick to barbeque
2 different colored bell peppers, sliced 1/2 inch
Olive oil
Salt and Pepper
Marinade and base for Avocado Sauce
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 scallion, minced
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Champagne vinegar (or white wine vinegar would do
1 ½ tsp cumin
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tsp salt
Finish the sauce with:
¼ cup chopped parsley
½ tsp minced jalapeno
2 avocados, diced close to serving time
1 tbsp lime juice
To make the tacos:
12 corn or flour tortillas
sour cream
lettuce or other salad greens
Chopped cilantro
refried beans

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl (the garlic through cumin and salt). Place the steaks in a large sealable plastic bag, then pour in 1/3 cup of the marinade mixture into the bag. 2. Set aside the rest of the marinade. Seal the bag, and gently toss the steak around with the marinade to get it well-coated. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. About 4 hours is optimal. 3. Finish the avocado sauce by taking the remaining marinade that you set aside, stir in the parsley, jalapeno, and lime juice into the reserved marinade. Salt and pepper.......do not forget this! 4. You can have all this ready to go well before your dinner, then stir in the diced avocados closer to serving time. 5. Grill the peppers and onions until nice and charred. This gives them a great smokey flavor. Set aside. This can be done 2 hours before you finish the meat. 6. Now, you've got the preliminaries taken care of, it's time to grill that steak! Take the steak out of the fridge 15 minutes before grilling time and pre-heat the grill to medium high. Shake the excess marinade off the steaks, then place them on the grill. For medium rare, which I recommend for this cut, grill 5 to 6 minutes on one side, then flip over to grill another 5 minutes on the other side. 7. Remove the the steak to a serving platter. Slice the steak thin after it has rested a few minutes, and have it ready to go on the taco bar. 8. You can set up the rest of the items on the taco bar as the steak grills. Line up the tortillas, steak, avocado sauce, onions/peppers, sour cream, lettuce and beans and let folks build their own tasty creations. I like to go through the line first and point out the items people can choose from so they don't miss anything. Enjoy your taco party!
