It's a good day. So, you should eat some tacos.
I posted this for all my lovely friends across the country living in small apartments in big cities with NO GRILLS. Note to you all: you can still grill steak! You just need a cast iron skillet:
Yes, they are a bit expensive, but totally worth it if you don't have a grill.
Bear in mind before making this recipe: you need to marinate the steak overnight. Just wanted to give you a heads up!
Here is what you need (adapted from this recipe) - if you like cilantro, use the original recipe. I am NOT a fan of cilantro, so I left it out:
1 lb of flank steak
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
3/4 cup of light coconut milk
1 tbsp sesame oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp of fresh ginger, grated
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/3 cup of sweet chili sauce
This is sweet chili sauce - it is SO good. Put it on top of your tacos, too:
Here is what you do:
1. Season your flank steak with salt and pepper
2. Blend all your other ingredients (or mix). Put in a large ziplock bag, put your steak in it, and let it marinade overnight.
3. When you're ready to cook it, take it out of the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
4. Preheat your broiler, and put your cast iron skillet on high heat (and open your window - this will get a little smoky!).
5. Brush canola oil over your skillet.
6. Cook your steak on each side for about 3.5 minutes.
7. Once you have cooked each side, place in the broiler for about 4 minutes.
8. Remove your steak from the oven, take it off the skillet and let rest for 15 minutes.
9. Cut your steak into strips and place it in tacos with toppings like sweet chili sauce, romaine lettuce, red onion, and whatever other toppings you want!
10. ENJOY!
These were DELICIOUS. The steak was really tasty - the marinade adds a lot of flavor. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did - have a GREAT weekend!!
