Stovetop Carne Asada Street Tacos
These Carne Asada inspired Street Tacos are the perfect stovetop alternative to the traditional grilled variety! Tender cubes of steak are marinated then sautéed to create tender and delicious carne asada bites. On top, a simple avocado salsa adds the perfect pop of freshness!
Ingredients
For the tacos
- 1 bunch cilantro roughly chopped
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 1 orangne juiced
- 2 limes juiced
- 1 tbsp garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon pickled jalapenos
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 lb sirloin tip steak or flank steak chopped into cubes
- corn tortillas
for the avocado salsa
- 1 avocado diced into small cubes
- ½ cup tomato diced
- ¼ cup red onion diced
- ½ cup cilantro roughly chopped
- ½ lime juiced
- salt
Instructions
- Combine cilantro, olive oil, orange, limes, garlic, jalapenos, cumin, salt and pepper in a large bowl and stir. Taste and season with more salt if necessary.
- Add the cubed steak and stir. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
- After the steak has been marinating, remove it from the fridge and let it rest for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Meanwhile make the avocado salsa. Combine avocado, tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime juice and salt. Stir and set aside.
- When it’s time to cook the steak, heat a large pan over medium high heat and add half of the steak — spaced evenly apart.
- Let it cook on one side until browned then flip and repeat. When they’re cooked to your liking, place in a bowl and repeat for the second batch of raw steak.
- To assemble the taco, either toast or warm your tortilla then add a few scoops of the carne asada mixture and top with the avocado salsa. Serve immediately.
