Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces minute steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cup taco sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Pat the minute steaks dry with a paper towel to ensure a good sear, then season both sides with garlic powder, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the minute steaks to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside on a plate to rest.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the taco sauce into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes to warm through.
Return the minute steaks to the skillet and spoon the taco sauce over the top to coat. Cook for an additional 1 minute to meld the flavors.
Transfer the steaks to a serving platter, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
Enjoy the steaks immediately with your favorite sides such as rice, beans, or a fresh salad.
