How to make Sirloin Steak Tacos Recipe

Prepare time: 5 min

Start to finish: 20 min

Yield: 4 Servings

Equipment:

Ingredients:

• 4 (6 oz) Sirloin Steaks, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1/2 cup Seasoned Salt (I used kosher salt)
• 1/2 cup Onion Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 1.5 teaspoons Dried Oregano (or use the fresh oregano you find in supermarkets the same way you use dill weed)
• 3 teaspoons Garlic Powder

Method:

Step 1: Mix seasonings and set aside.

Step 2: Toss steak to coat with seasoned salt.

Step 3: Make a zig-zag pattern with onion powder and garlic powder. Set aside for 15 minutes.

Step 4: Heat the grill to 400 degrees F. Sear the steak on both sides for 3 minutes and then place them on the grill over direct heat for 7-8 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time or until the desired doneness is reached (I prefer medium rare).

Once the steaks are sizzling on both sides, place them on a baking sheet for 5 minutes to grill the seasonings into the steaks. Place back on the grill for another 2 minutes (careful not to overcook). Remove from heat, and let rest for 10 mins; in a medium size bowl, toss the steaks with butter and grated cheese.

Step 5: To make the tacos, set up two taco shells or warm tortillas per person. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, and place 1/2 cup (1 lb.) of cooked steak on the skillet.

Top with 1/4 cup grated cheese and 2 tablespoons of the pico de gallo. Reduce heat to low, cover skillet, and cook for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Fold taco shells or warm tortillas in half and top with steak, cheese, and pico de gallo on each side.

Step 6: Store leftover steak in the fridge for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
