These steak tacos are great. The garlic flatter truly kicks these an indent.
The secret to making home-cooked steak is to guarantee the dish is HOT. I mean it must smoke hot. You would prefer not to blaze your skillet clearly, yet a hot container is essential for getting a decent singe on the outside of your steak and ensuring it cooks equitably without getting to be rugged. I jump at the chance to utilize my cast iron to cook steak.
I purchase the "quick rotisserie" sirloin steaks for these tacos, and I cooked mine for around 30 seconds for each side. That is all it should be on the uncommon side. You can obviously cook it to your favored level of doneness.
The pico de gallo is anything but difficult to put together. I get a kick out of the chance to rapidly expel the tomato seeds (it's alright on the off chance that you miss a couple) so it's not exactly as succulent. You can put in a serrano pepper in the event that you like it zesty.
I'm back at work today. How about we not discuss how I feel about that.

Sirloin steak tacos with fresh pico de gallo, sour cream, and sliced avocado wrapped in a flour tortilla.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 sirloin steaks*
- Olive oil
- Salt & pepper
- 6-8 flour tortillas
Pico de Gallo
- 4 plum tomatoes, de-seeded and chopped
- 1/2 small onion, chopped finely
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 1 serrano pepper, finely chopped (optional)
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Garlic butter
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Garnish
- Sour cream
- Sliced avocado
INSTRUCTIONS
- Take steaks out of fridge 30 minutes prior to cooking them.
- Pre-heat oven to 350F to warm tortillas. Wrap tortillas in foil and place in oven.
- Make the pico de gallo by slicing the tomatoes, removing the seeds, and then chopping them into smaller pieces. Chop the onion, cilantro, and serrano pepper. Add lime juice and salt and pepper and mix together. Set aside.
- Slice avocado into desired size pieces and set aside.
- Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
- For the steaks, place a heavy pan on the stove on medium-high heat. I use my cast iron skillet. I like to get the pan really hot so let it heat for several minutes (I have an electric stove). Alternatively, you could grill the steaks if you prefer.
- While the pan is warming up, add butter and mince garlic into a small pan on medium heat. The garlic will cook a bit to take the sharp edge off.
- Once the steak pan is hot, add about two tablespoons of olive oil. Add the steaks and cook to desired doneness. It shouldn't take long... less than a minute per side.
- Once steaks are done, drizzle the garlic butter on them. Let them rest for a couple of minutes and then slice them.
- Serve tacos with pico de gallo, sour cream, and sliced avocado.
NOTES
I buy the thin, "fast-fry" sirloin steaks for these tacos.
