Ingredients
- 1 ½-2 pounds boneless strip steak (ribeye or New York strip)
- 2 tablespoons finely ground coffee
- 3 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 corn or flour tortillas
Optional Garnishes
- ½ cup red onion, sliced
- ½ cup copped cilantro
- ½ cup crumbled cotija cheese
Chimichurri
- ½ cup parsley
- 1 cup cilantro
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 small shallot
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/3 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Combine all the seasonings in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Put a generous amount of rub on the steaks and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
- While waiting for the steaks, add all the chimichurri ingredients to a food processor and pulse until mixture is combined and finely chopped.
- An hour after putting the rub on the steaks, heat a cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat and add oil. Once hot, add the steak and cook about 4 minutes each side. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice the steak into thin strips and serve on top of the tortillas with chimichurri sauce, onion, cilantro and cheese.
Tips & Notes
Steaks can be cooked on the grill. Just preheat to 450 and cook about 4 minutes each side. If you don???t have a food processor, finely chop the parsley, cilantro, garlic and shallots and add to a bowl, then whisk in the remaining ingredients.
