Equipment

  • Mixing bowl (for chimichurri)
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Frying pan or grill pan
  • Tongs or spatula
  • Spoon (for spreading avocado)

Ingredients
  

  • For the Steak:
  • 2 steaks of your choice sirloin, ribeye, or flank work well
  • 1 tbsp steak seasoning
  • For the Chimichurri:
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 shallot diced
  • Bunch of parsley chopped
  • Bunch of coriander chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed or minced
  • 1 red chili diced
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Tacos:
  • 4 small tortillas
  • 1 mashed avocado
  • Crumbled feta to taste

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Make the Chimichurri. In a bowl, mix the red wine vinegar, olive oil, diced shallot, chopped parsley, chopped coriander, garlic, chili, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and set it aside to let the flavors meld.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Steak. Season the steaks with your steak seasoning. Heat a frying pan or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks for 3-3.5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time to your preferred doneness. Once cooked, let the steaks rest for 5 minutes, then slice them thinly against the grain.
  • Step 3: Assemble the Tacos. Warm your tortillas in a pan or microwave. Spread a layer of mashed avocado on each tortilla. Add a few slices of steak, drizzle with chimichurri, and finish with a sprinkle of crumbled feta.
  • Step 4: Serve. Plate the tacos and enjoy them with your favorite sides or as they are!

Notes

  • Don’t Skip Resting the Steak: Resting the steak for 5 minutes allows the juices to redistribute, keeping it tender and juicy.
  • Adjust the Spice: If you’re not a fan of heat, use less chili or remove the seeds for a milder chimichurri.
  • Warm the Tortillas Properly: Warming them makes them soft and pliable, which is essential for assembling tacos without breaking.
