Ree loves to put citrus in her steak marinades, and it’s especially good when combined with spices. If you don’t have steak on hand, this marinade works just as well with chicken, lamb or pork.

Ingredients

Toppings:

Directions

  1. In a resealable plastic bag, combine the honey, oil, ancho chile powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and orange juice. Sprinkle the steak generously with salt and pepper, then place in the bag and massage the marinade into the steak. Set on a plate and leave on the counter for 15 minutes while you get the toppings and tortillas together.
  2. For the toppings: Wrap the tortillas in foil and place in 375 degree F oven to warm, 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, toss together the cilantro, Fresnos and onion with the lime juice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside until the meat is ready.
  4. When ready to cook the steak, heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Add the steak to the skillet and cook to the desired doneness (4 to 5 minutes per side for medium). Remove and let rest for 10 minutes, then slice against the grain and chop into small pieces.
  5. Serve the steak on the board, alongside the tortillas, with the cilantro onion mixture and lime wedges.
