- Comments()
- Prep Time 15 minutes
- Total Time 25 minutes
- Yield Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 6 large red radishes, ends trimmed, halved, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapeno chile
- 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice plus 1 lime, cut into 8 wedges, for garnish (optional)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 pound skirt steak, cut crosswise into 3 pieces
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 8 corn tortillas (6-inch)
Directions
-
Heat broiler, with rack 4 inches from heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside. In a medium bowl, gently stir together avocado, radishes, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, and oil; season with salt. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly against surface of salsa (to prevent discoloring); set aside.
-
Arrange steak on prepared baking sheet. Rub both sides with cumin; season generously with salt and pepper. Broil without turning until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer steak to a cutting board; tent with foil, and let rest 5 minutes.
-
While the steak is broiling, stack and wrap tortillas in a dampened kitchen towel; microwave until hot and pliable, 1 to 2 minutes. (Alternatively, wrap in foil, and warm in oven in lower third, 5 minutes.)
-
Cut steak crosswise into 2-inch-wide pieces; slice thinly on the diagonal. Dividing evenly, place beef on tortillas; top with salsa. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
I thought this was a very easy meal, and quite good. I used a Rib--eye steak and grilled it outside, then sliced it very thinly. I also used two avocados and a finely chopped jalapeno instead of the pickled one. My salsa was a little more creamy than the photo, but it was great.
I LOVE this salsa! It really makes the steak pop!
easy, delicious way to use leftover steak. Cut radishes thin.
Angel hair cabbage is great if you want to replace it for the radishess still adds the crunch with great flavor.
Not fond of radishes but it seems to work really well with this dish. Thank you for posting.
