Best Steak Tacos Recipe
This easy steak taco recipe is epic! The steak tacos are ridiculously quick and easy, melt-in-your mouth tender and exploding with flavor. The steak is tossed in a sensational spice rub (no marinade required!), pan-seared to juicy perfection, loaded into warmed tortillas then piled with all your favorite toppings such as roasted poblano crema (recipe included), guacamole, salsa, pico de gallo and/or sour cream. These steak tacos make the ideal easy weeknight dinner but are also tasty enough to serve guests. The steak is also extremely versatile and can be served in burritos, burrito bowls, salads, etc. and reheats and freezes exceptionally well. Now get ready for the quickest steak tacos of your life!

📝 Preparation Steps
1
While the steak is still on the cutting board, pat it dry. Season with all of the steak seasonings. Set aside for ⏱️ 20-60 minutes. Meanwhile, you can prep your toppings and/or make the optional poblano crema (instructions below).
2
To cook steak, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add half of the steak and let sear for ⏱️ 1-2 minutes then continue to cook while stirring the steak just until browned (don’t overcook or it won’t be as juicy). Season to taste with additional salt and/or cayenne pepper if desired. Repeat with remaining steak.
