Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Slice the beef fillet into thin strips or bite-sized pieces for easier cooking and eating in tacos.
- 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.
- Peel and slice the onion into thin rings or half-rings, depending on your preference.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
