Steak tacos with oregano and onion

Perfect for a casual dinner or a festive gathering, these tacos combine savory beef fillet with the fragrant flavors of chili powder and oregano.

Ingredients:

1 lb beef fillet
450g
1 tbsp chili powder
8g
1/2 tsp dried oregano
0.90g
1/4 tsp sugar
1.05g
8 tortillas
190g
1 tbsp vegetable oil
14g
1 onion
110g
3/4 tsp salt
4.50g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef:
- Slice the beef fillet into thin strips or bite-sized pieces for easier cooking and eating in tacos.
2. Season the Beef:
- In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, dried oregano, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Rub this spice mixture all over the beef strips to ensure they are well coated. Set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Prepare the Onion:
- Peel and slice the onion into thin rings or half-rings, depending on your preference.
4. Cook the Beef:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned beef strips. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
- Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set aside.
5. Cook the Onion:
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened and lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
6. Warm the Tortillas:
- While the onions are cooking, warm the tortillas. You can do this by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or by wrapping them in a slightly damp cloth and microwaving them for about 30 seconds until warm and pliable.
7. Assemble the Tacos:
- Lay each tortilla flat and place a portion of the cooked beef in the center.
- Top with a generous amount of the caramelized onions.
- Optional: Add any additional toppings you like such as chopped fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, or a squeeze of lime juice.
8. Serve:
- Serve the steak tacos immediately while everything is warm and enjoy!

Tips:

- For the best results, let the beef fillet rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

- Use fresh, soft tortillas for the best texture and flavor. Warm them up on a dry pan before serving.

- Be sure to thinly slice the onion; this helps it cook quickly and caramelize beautifully.

- After cooking the beef, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.

- Customize your tacos with additional toppings like fresh cilantro, lime wedges, or a sprinkle of cheese to add extra flavor.

With just a few simple ingredients and straightforward steps, these steak tacos with oregano and onion make for a flavorful and satisfying meal. The combination of tender beef, aromatic spices, and soft tortillas creates a perfect harmony of textures and tastes. Enjoy your homemade tacos with family and friends for a delightful culinary experience.
