Sautéed Mushroom & Flank Steak Tacos
Steak and mushrooms are the definition of comfort food! So why not wrap them up in a taco and do taco’s better then anyone else!? These steak tacos are the perfect appetizer or gourmet snack for mushroom lovers!
Ingredients
Steak Taco Marinade:
1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup julienne red onion
1 sliced garlic clove
1/2 tsp crushed peppercorns
1/2 lime, juiced
1 tsp salt
Tacos & Toppings:
1 Marinated & Grilled Flank Steak
1/4 cup julienne red onion
cilantro sour-cream ( mix 1 tbsp chopped cilantro with 1 cup sour cream)
pan seared crimini mushrooms
shredded lettuce
goat cheese
12 soft shell tortillas
Method
1. Sauté the mushrooms in oil or clarified butter. Let them get nice and brown for maximum flavor! Season with a little salt and pepper and set aside with your other garnishes.
2. If possible marinate the flank steak overnight!
3. Grill the flank steak on a BBQ or over a charcoal fire, I recommend cooking it medium rare (about 6 to 7 minutes), but you can cook it to whatever done-ness you like. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes to avoid all the juices leaking out when you slice it.
4. Slice the steak, and mix in the cooked mushrooms. Toss some chopped cilantro in and season with fresh ground pepper.
5. Top the taco shells, with the cilantro sour-cream, shredded lettuce, mushroom & steak mixture, julienne red onion, and goat cheese!
6. Serve and enjoy
