Ingredients

  • 2 lb flank steak

Flank Steak Marinade

  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 4 limes just the juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp beef rub or taco seasoning

To make the tacos

  • small flour tortillas
  • taco toppings

Instructions

  • Marinate: Mix all of the marinade ingredients in a zip-top bag and marinate the steak in the refrigerator for 1-8 hours.
  • Grill: Heat the grill to high heat (400-425F degrees.) Remove the meat from the marinade. Pat dry. Grill for about 5 minutes per side.
  • Rest and Slice: Remove the steak from the grill. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice the beef against the grain.
  • Taco Time: Add the strips of sliced steak onto tortilla shells with your favorite toppings.

Notes

The nutrition facts are just for the flank steak. They do not include the calories or fat content for the tortillas or toppings, because those can vary so much. 
My favorite taco toppings include diced white onions, diced jalapeños, cilantro, diced tomatoes, cotija cheese, a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a dash of hot sauce.
Instead of the beef rub, you can also use my homemade taco seasoning or a mixture of salt, pepper, garlic powder and cumin.
