Chile-Rubbed Steak Tacos

Scott Phillips

产量:Yields 12 to 16 tacos

Servings:4-6.

This recipe is adapted from one that originated in Zacatecas, Mexico and features an unusual, boldly spiced rub made with cinnamon, allspice, and cloves. The rub would also be delicious on top sirloin, New York strip steaks, shrimp, or pork―all of which would make great taco fillings, too.

Preparation

Make the spice rub:

  • In a small bowl, combine all the spice rub ingredients.

Make the filling:

  • Brush the lime juice on both sides of each piece of meat and rub both sides with the spice rub. (You may not need all of the spice rub.)
  • Put the oil in a large, heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, and set it over medium-high heat until very hot. Cook the meat until it’s well browned and just cooked through, 3 to 4 min. per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 3 to 5 min. Holding a knife at a 45-degree angle, thinly slice the meat crosswise.

To serve:

  • Put the sliced steak in a heated dish, sprinkle with salt, and set on the table. Next to it set the hot tortillas, guacamole, pico de gallo, and tomatillo salsa so each person can assemble his or her own tacos.

    Maybe I chose steaks that were too thick but the meat lacked flavor. It was good but no better than any other rub I put on steak before cooking it.

    Outstanding. A family favorite. We serve it with the guacamole.

    Absolutely a Perfect Dinner or Game Party dinner! Everyone will enjoy making their own sandwich and be back several times for more. I have made these many times, and always a huge hit!
