Instructions

Steak:

  • Begin by adding all the ingredients for the marinade to a bowl and mixing together thoroughly.
  • Next, add your steak to a food safe bag/bowl and pour in your marinade. Mix together to coat all the steak. Seal and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours but ideally overnight.
  • Preheat your fire to high heat (around 450 degrees F) for direct grilling.
  • Pull your steaks out of the bag and discard any excess marinade.
  • Add your steaks to the grill to cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they are 125F internal.
  • Once done, pull the steaks off and let them rest for 10 minutes. Once rested, slice your steaks against the grain then into bite size cubes.

Corn & Elote:

  • Preheat your grill to medium high temperature (around 375 degrees F) for direct cooking.
  • Grill your corn over the high heat for 6-8 minutes until fully cooked and slightly charred.
  • Pull off the grill and slice the corn off the cob.
  • Add the corn to a bowl and mix together with all of the other ingredients for the Grilled Corn.
  • Finally, mix in a bowl all the ingredients for the Elote Sauce.

Tacos:

  • Add a cast iron skillet over medium heat to preheat.
  • Add a tortilla and cook one side then flip and top with a handful of shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla with cheese over in half, then cook both sides until slightly crispy and the cheese is melted.
  • Pull the tortilla off and open up. Add sliced steak, corn salsa and drizzle the elote sauce on top. Serve and enjoy!
