Description

Delicious steak tacos topped with a fresh mango salsa, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 soft tortillas
  • 1 1/2 lb sirloin steak
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground pepper
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 1 cup mango (cubed)
  • 2 small jalapeño (seeded and chopped)
  • fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime (wedges)

Instructions

  1. Cut and Season the steak: Slice steak thinly against the grain. Pat the sirloin steak dry, then season generously with salt, pepper, and cumin on both sides.
  2. Sauté the onion: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden.
  3. Cook the steak: Increase heat to medium-high. Add the seasoned steak to the skillet with the onions and sear until browned and cooked to your liking (timing depends on thickness and cut). About 8-12 minutes.
  4. Make the mango jalapeño salsa: In a bowl, combine diced mango, finely chopped jalapeño, diced onion, chopped cilantro, and fresh lime juice. Season lightly with salt and stir. Taste and adjust lime/heat as desired.
  5. Warm the tortillas: Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds per side, or wrap in foil and warm briefly in the oven.
  6. Assemble the tacos: Add sliced steak and sautéed onions to tortillas. Spoon over the mango salsa. Finish with extra cilantro and lime wedges if you’d like.

Notes

  • Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of jalapeño used.
  • For a richer flavor, marinate the steak for a few hours before cooking.
