Ancho And Spice Rubbed Flank Steak Tacos Food

MICHELADA FLANK STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• For the marinade: Add the beer, tomato sauce and oil to a large resealable bag. Squeeze the limes in, then drop them in the bag. Add the steak, sprinkle with salt and pepper and seal. Marinate at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours. Remove the steak from the bag and discard the contents. Pat the steak dry on both sides and sprinkle lightly with more salt and pepper.
• For the pico de gallo: Add the tomatoes, beer, cilantro, onion, lime juice, hot sauce, radishes, jalapenos and a pinch of salt and pepper to a large bowl. Drizzle with some olive oil, then toss and let rest at room temperature until ready to use.
• For the rub: Preheat the grill of a smart countertop grill to high heat. Combine the chile-lime seasoning, chile powder and zest in a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning all over the steak and rub into both sides. Place the steak on the grill, cover and cook until the internal temperature reaches 120 degrees F for medium-rare, flipping halfway through, about 8 minutes total. Remove the steak to a plate, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Make tacos with warmed tortillas and the prepared pico de gallo.

CHILI-RUBBED STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• In a small bowl stir together chili powder, garlic, cinnamon, salt and cayenne pepper. Rub spice mixture on both sides of steaks.
• Grill or broil steaks for 5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium rare, turning once. Remove from grill and let meat sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Carve into thin slices.
• Warm tortillas by placing them on the grill, for about 30 seconds, turning once. Or place 6 tortillas at a time between 2 moist paper towels and microwave for 45 seconds. Wrap in cloth napkin or place in a tortilla warmer to keep warm. Place the carved steak, warm tortillas, cabbage, cilantro, lime and Avocado Lime Salsa in serving dishes and let diners make their own tacos at the table.
• Place cucumber, avocado and onion in a large bowl and add lime juice and salt. Add cilantro and chiles and toss gently.

MOLE RUBBED GRILLED STEAKS WITH CHARRED CORN

Steps:

• 1. Smash the garlic cloves, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and with the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Mix paste in bowl with the olive oil ancho powder, cocoa, cumin, and cinnamon. Rub the spice mixture all over the steaks and set aside for 15 minutes.
• 2. Preheat a grill to high and oil the grate. Lay the steaks on the hottest part of the grill and cook until charred, about 4 minutes. Turn and grill the other side until charred, about 4 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
• 3. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium skillet and add the corn. Cook, shaking and stirring until the corn chars and butter smells nutty, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt and pepper. Serve steaks with the corn.
