Chuck Steak – Street Tacos
CategoryDifficultyBeginner
Yields16 Servings
Total Time6 hrs 40 mins
 2 lbs Chuck Steak
 1 cup Taco Seasoning or Marinade
 3 Limes, juiced
 ¼ cup Cilantro, chopped
For the Tacos
 Corn tortillas
 Cojita cheese
 Red onion
 Sweet peppers
 Lime
 Scallions
 Cilantro
 Queso
For the Marinade
1

In a large resealable bag, mix taco seasoning or marinade with the lime juice.

2

Add the beef and cilantro.

3

Seal the bag and using your hands, move everything around to evenly coat the chuck steaks.

4

Place in the fridge for 6 hours to marinate.

Grill the Beef
5

When ready to grill, preheat your grill for direct heat around 400-450F degrees.

6

Remove the beef from the marinade, discard the marinade, and place the beef directly on the grill. The liquid from the marinade will cause flareups that should quickly subside; use long grilling tongs and caution.

7

Grill the chuck steaks, rotating and maneuvering as needed to evenly cook all of the portions. Grill to desired doneness.

8

Remove the steaks from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes.

9

Chop the steaks into thin strips and spritz with fresh lime juice.

10

Set up a taco bar with toasted corn tortillas and all of your desired toppings.

Notes
11

No grill? This recipe works on a griddle or in cast iron as well.

12

This beef makes for a great taco salad or power bowl if you aren’t feeling the corn tortillas (or a great use for leftovers)
