Best Recipe for Grilled Steak Tacos with Chipotle Cream and Chimichurri
Ingredients
- 1 small bunch fresh cilantro, leaves picked
- 1/2 medium yellow onion
- Juice of 1 1/2 limes
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 4 ounces sour cream
- 1 large chipotle pepper in adobo, finely diced, plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
- Mixed greens
- 6 small fajita-size flour tortillas, warmed
- 1 pound skirt or flank steak
- 7 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup, plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/3 cup, plus 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- For the chimichurri: While the steak rests, place the cilantro leaves, onion, remaining 4 cloves garlic, juice of 1 lime, and remaining 1/3 cup vinegar to a blender and puree until combined. With the blender on low speed, drizzle in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in a slow stream. Remove the sauce from the blender and stir in the red pepper flakes and salt, to taste.
- For the chipotle cream: Combine the sour cream, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, juice of 1/2 lime, and pinch of salt.
- Place the steak, 3 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons each olive oil and vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and Dijon mustard in a resealable bag. Rub the ingredients into the meat and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 2 hours.
- After 2 hours, remove the meat from the bag and pat dry to remove any excess moisture. Lightly season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Spray an indoor, stovetop grill with nonstick cooking spray and preheat on medium-high heat. Place the steak on the preheated grill and grill about 6 minutes on each side for medium rare. After grilling the steak, cover with tented foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes, before thinly slicing across the grain.
- To serve, top each warm tortilla with some mixed greens and sliced steak. Drizzle with the chimichurri and chipotle cream.
- Servings: 4 to 6 tacos
