20 minutes to prep, 15 to cook. These steak tacos bring the bold flavors of a street‑food taco stand to your kitchen.

Perfect for a quick family dinner that feels festive and delicious.

Method
Prepare the steak marinade: in a pestle and mortar, combine minced garlic, chopped coriander, a pinch of sea salt, 2 tsp cumin, 0.5 tsp chili powder, a splash of oil, and plenty of lime zest; mash into a paste.
Coat the sirloin steak with the paste, massage it into the meat, and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
While the steak marinates, make the guacamole: blend ripe avocado with a hot green chili, a squeeze of lime juice, sea salt to taste, a generous handful of chopped coriander, and a small splash of water until smooth.
Heat a pan or grill until very hot; sear the marinated steak until charred on the edges and cooked to your desired doneness, then let it rest for the same amount of time it cooked.
Prepare a quick salsa: dice red onion, add lime juice, drizzle extra virgin olive oil, season with salt and black pepper, and optionally stir in chopped coriander; mix briefly.
Warm the corn tortillas on a hot griddle until slightly charred, about 30 seconds per side.
Slice the rested steak into thin strips.
Assemble each taco by placing steak strips on a tortilla, adding a spoonful of guacamole, topping with the fresh salsa, and serving immediately.
Tips while you cook
- Rest the marinated steak
- After coating the steak with the paste, let it rest for about 15 minutes before cooking.
- Warm tortillas briefly
- Heat each corn tortilla on a hot griddle for roughly 30 seconds per side until slightly charred.
- Slice steak only after resting
- Allow the cooked steak to rest, then slice it into thin strips for the tacos.
