Method

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Coat the sirloin steak with the paste, massage it into the meat, and let it rest for about 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Warm the corn tortillas on a hot griddle until slightly charred, about 30 seconds per side.

  7. 7

    Slice the rested steak into thin strips.

  8. 8

    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.
