Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Flank steak
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 8 whole leaves Romaine lettuce leaves (or Bibb lettuce)
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 1 whole Lime, cut into wedges
- 1 whole Avocado, sliced
- 2 tbsp Whole30-approved hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, sea salt, and black pepper to create the spice rub.
Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels and rub both sides with olive oil. Evenly coat the steak with the spice rub, pressing it onto the meat.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (130°F for medium-rare).
Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes so the juices redistribute.
While the steak rests, prepare the taco toppings: wash and dry the lettuce leaves, chop the cilantro, dice the red onion, and slice the avocado.
Thinly slice the steak against the grain into bite-sized strips.
Assemble the tacos by layering the steak slices into the lettuce leaves, and topping with cilantro, red onion, and avocado. Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and drizzle with Whole30-approved hot sauce if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Street Steak Tacos!
