Fire up the grill, amigo. It’s time for the main course. Your guests have a savory marinated flank steak to look forward to. All you have to do is marinate the beef ahead of time, get some fixings together, and you’re good to go. Tacos could very well be the perfect party food. Let your guests grab a warm tortilla, add a few slices of steak and the toppings of their choice. A taco in one hand, a Margarita in the other – what better way to celebrate the occasion?

Ingredients

Marinade:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup Don Julio® Reposado Tequila
2 tablespoons fresh limejuice
2 dashes Tabasco sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
Other ingredients:
1-1⁄2 pounds flank steak
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 flour tortillas
Pico de Gallo (can substitute with Cuervo Gold™ Salsa Cruda)
Guacamole
Sour cream
Shredded cheese

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine the marinade ingredients
Add the flank steak and toss to coat
Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, turning the meat halfway through
Preheat grill or broiler to high
Remove steak from marinade and pat dry
Season both sides of steak with salt and pepper
Grill for about 10 minutes per side for medium-rare
Let rest 10 minutes before slicing
Slice the steak against the grain into 1/4-inch thick diagonal strips
Serve with warmed tortillas and the toppings of your choice

TIP: Next time you grill; try the marinade with chicken or shrimp. Since these are tender meats they shouldn’t take as long to marinade. An hour will probably do the trick.
