Ingredients

  • 1 cup roughly chopped garlic (about 3 bulbs)
  • 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 8 large limes)
  • 1/2 cup clear tequila
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 bunch roughly chopped fresh cilantro, leaves and stems
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 serrano pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 1/2 to 2 pounds flank steak
  • 12 corn tortillas, wrapped in foil

Garnishes:

  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 bunch radishes, cleaned, ends cut and sliced
  • 1/3 cup grated queso fresco cheese
  • 2 ripe avocados, seeded and sliced
  • 3 vine ripened tomatoes, sliced in wedges
  • Hot sauce, for serving

Directions

Combine the garlic, lime juice, tequila, soy sauce, cilantro, peppers, cumin and black pepper in a resealable plastic gallon bag. Add the steak and let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove from the refrigerator, and let marinate at room temperature another 30 to 45 minutes.

Prepare a grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Put the marinade in small saucepot and bring to a boil. Then strain and reserve.

Put the tortillas on the corner of the grill and flip the package a few times to heat through while the steak is cooking

Place the steak on the grill. Cook for 4 minutes, turn 180 degrees, and cook for 3 minutes more (to create cross grill marks). Flip over and finish cooking for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on desired doneness. Remove from the grill to a cutting board and let rest, lightly covered, for 5 minutes.

Slice against the grain, and serve immediately with the reserved marinade, garnishes, tortillas and hot sauce.

    Perfect for steak tacos or as a main course on it's own with a side of beans/rice and avacado salad. The marinade is amazing on chicken too!

    Not a hit at my place. I wouldn't use this recipe again.

    Great recipe but Guy needs to brush up on his math! Turn 90 degrees, not 180 for a crisscross pattern!
