Equipment
- Grill
- Meat thermometer
- Cutting Board
- Chef's knife
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Marinating dish
- Aluminum foil
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 2 lb London broil
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 12-18 corn tortillas 6 in
- 2 cups red cabbage chopped
- 1 cup fresh cilantro roughly chopped
- Salsa verde
- 2 limes
- Queso fresco
Instructions
- Tenderize the steak by sprinkling garlic powder on top and pouring A-1 and Italian dressing on top of the garlic powder.
- Use 2 forks and push them in and out of the steak, moving all over the steak. Then flip it over and do it again. When you begin, the fork will be slightly resistant to piercing the steak, but as you continue, it will become easier and easier. Cover the steak and refrigerate it overnight.
- Sprinkle chipotle seasoning on the steak and place on the grill on medium heat.
- Sear the meat one way, for two minutes, then lift and score it in the other direction for two minutes.
- Flip the steak over and do it again.
- Place the veggies in a packet of foil and place on the grill. Close foil for quicker cooking. I put these on the grill as the steak was 4 minutes away from being done. The peppers will be cooked, but still have a crunch. If you like them softer, put them on the grill earlier.
- Take off the steak and let it rest for a few minutes. Place tortillas on the grill. They start to bubble up quickly. Remove when they do.
- Thinly slice the London broil.
- Build the taco by adding lettuce, cheese, steak, peppers and onions, sour cream and salsa.
- Enjoy your tacos!
Notes
- The steak can be grilled in the oven to the appropriate temperature and doneness if you don't have a grill.
- To avoid overcooking the steak, use a digital thermometer.
- Chopped smaller jalapeños have a stronger flavor.
- Avocado, pico de gallo, cheese, lettuce, and tomato are some more topping options.
