I made this for my family twice once with the steak method and then another time I changed it up and I used shrimp but did not use the beer, orange, garlic or any of the first step. Awesome!! It was quick and easy and my family loved it.

I think the first mistake was using flank steak as opposed to the "ranchera" or ranch cut. I felt the flank was too thick which took away from the soft and tender consistency found in the much thinner ranch cut. I would also recommend using a different salsa altogther for this dish. A simple green salsa (blend green tomato, cilantro, serrano chile, lime and onion goes great with tacos. The sweetness from the green tomatos and spice from the serrano are a great combo. Marcela, I felt let down with your Light Taco dish. I gave it a try and it just didn't hit the mark. Perhaps if you called it a simple steak dinner and not a taco I would be more willing to give you a higher rating. Thanks for putting together such a fun show and I look forward to trying out some more of your recipes!

A nice change from the gazillion other Taco recipes. I have never heard of Blue Moon beer and didn't want to have to buy a beer just for a marinade so I used my always on hand beer, which is Molson, and I used orange zest as an alternative. 1 hour at room temperature worked just fine in the marinade. I thought the salsa needed more kick. Next time.... jalapeno pepper for me. And people, c'mon, rate the recipe from your experience making the recipe, not reading about it or watching it get made on TV.

The steak was fabulous! I used Blue Moon (Summer Honey Wheat since it goes so well with orange...plus it's my fave beer so it worked out wonderfully! In the salsa I used ~2 tbsp of cilantro and added some ginger and ~1 tsp brown sugar. It was pretty good but very salty, even with low sodium soy sauce. Next time I'll use less soy sauce but the same amount of the other ingredients. I served it with red leaf lettuce, avocado, and tomato...yum! Next time I may try it in an actual tortilla. There will be a next time!!

I love tacos and all the flavors that go into them, but this is a great light variation. I also used Blue Moon beer, since it has orange hints to it as well. This turned out great !

I can't tell you how much I loved this dish! Although I ate it with a fork and knife instead of like a taco, I'm going to make this one over and over. It was fresh, easy and delicious!

Awesome! Followed directions exactly except used regular soy sauce versus low-sodium (all I had on hand. That made the sauce a little saltier, but it was still delicious. Marinated overnite in the frig. Once cooked, had a nice beer aftertaste. My husband loved it!

The flavor of the orange and beer make this meat outstanding. I have given this recipe to many people and they all love it too. I love all of your recipes, they are full of flavor and are so different from many of the other recipe on the food network. I hope you are on T.V. for a very long time.
