Ingredients

To serve

Method

  1. To make the sauce, place all of the ingredients in a food processor. Season with salt and blend until smooth. Adjust flavour to your taste.
  2. Rub the steak with cumin, oregano and chilli powder. Season generously with salt and lightly coat with olive oil.
  3. Cook the steak in a hot, cast iron pan for 2–3 minutes on one side and 1–2 minutes on the other side. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
  4. Serve the steak on warm corn tortillas with the salsa verde, white onion, sliced jalapeños, fresh coriander and lime wedges.

Notes

Make these tacos with any kind of steak you like. Other cuts that work well are skirt steak and rump. Best cooked rare to medium-rare. You can’t go wrong with these…
