👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1While the steak is still on the cutting board, pat it dry. Season with all of the steak seasonings. Set aside for 20-60 minutes. Meanwhile, you can prep your toppings and/or make the optional poblano crema (instructions below).
2. 2To cook steak, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add half of the steak and let sear for 1-2 minutes then continue to cook while stirring the steak just until browned (don’t overcook or it won’t be as juicy). Season to taste with additional salt and/or cayenne pepper if desired. Repeat with remaining steak.
3. 3Pile steak in warmed tortillas followed by desired toppings. In these steak taco photos, I’ve added poblano crema, pickled red onions, pomegranate arils, cilantro and Cotija cheese (recipes in notes).
