One of the best things about tacos is the never-ending combinations of fillings, sauces, salsas and toppings that can get stuffed inside a tortilla, but steak tacos are my favorite. This grilled steak taco recipe has everything I look for, with a creamy, spicy sauce and crisp salsa spiked with lime alongside the juicy grilled steak that anchors it all.<\/p>\n

Grilling the steak takes these tacos to the next level. The charcoal or gas grill<\/a> flames sizzle the steak’s exterior and infuse a smoky flavor into the meat. While you have the grill lit, toss on some other ingredients from an easy grilling recipe<\/a> for a meal later in the week.<\/p>\n

What’s the best steak for steak tacos?<\/h2>\n

This steak tacos recipe calls for ribeye steak, but many types of steak<\/a> also work. Ideally, choose a cut similar to a ribeye with lots of marbling, like a strip steak, as they have a rich beefy flavor, are more forgiving if slightly overcooked, and are less likely to become dry and tough.<\/p>\n

Skirt or flank steak also performs well on the grill and will slice up to a great size for a steak taco recipe. These cuts benefit from a marinade to keep them tender. Regardless of the cut, use an instant-read meat thermometer<\/a> to ensure the meat does not overcook, which can ruin the flavor and texture.<\/p>\n
