Best Grill Pan Steak Tacos Recipes

GRILLED STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Poke holes in the steak with a large knife, taking care to make the holes with the grain. Add the steak to a gallon size freezer bag.
• Add the orange juice, garlic cloves, chipotle peppers and adobo sauce, cilantro, cumin, cinnamon and kosher salt into a blender. Puree until smooth then pour into the freezer bag with the steak, seal and refrigerate for 1 hour up to overnight.
• Let the steak come to room temperature before grilling, about 20 minutes. Oil grates with grapeseed oil and preheat it on high heat.
• Reduce the heat to medium-high and grill the meat for 10 minutes on each side or until cooked to desired doneness.
• Allow the steak to rest on a platter, covered with foil, for 10 minutes before cutting.
• Warm the tortillas over a gas flame or on the grill. Assemble the tacos with sliced avocado, chopped onion, tomatoes, cilantro, queso fresco, and a squeeze of grilled limes or sliced jalapeño if you like.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Combine onion, cilantro, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, oregano, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a large bowl.
• Place steak in a baking pan and pour marinade on top. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 to 4 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill steak 2 to 4 minutes per side, to desired doneness. Allow meat to rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing against the grain into 1/4-inch slices.
• Add meat to tortillas and top with your favorite toppings.

GRILLED STEAK NAAN TACOS

Steps:

• For the steak: Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Drizzle the steak with the olive oil and season with the ancho chile powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Grill the steak to the desired temperature, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Set aside to rest while you make the salsa.
• For the grilled avocado-corn salsa: Brush the corn, jalapeño and red onion with the olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Grill until the vegetables are lightly charred, about 6 minutes. Slice the corn off the cob and chop the jalapeño and onion. Toss the vegetables with the cilantro, avocado and lime zest and juice in a bowl. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• For the assembly: Slice the steak thinly against the grain. Build a taco by grabbing a warm naan and adding a tablespoon of the chipotle mayo, if using. Top with some of the steak and a spoonful of the salsa. Top with some crumbled queso fresco and serve with a lime wedge.
