Grass Fed Blade Steak Tacos
Ingredients
For the Chismol
- 2 vine-ripened tomatoes
- ½ white onion (diced)
- ½ red bell pepper (diced)
- juice from one lime
- 1½ tbsp fresh oregano (coarsely chopped)
For the Tacos
- 1 tbsp cumin seeds
- 1 clove garlic (crushed)
- 1 tbsp fresh oregano (finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 250g gras fed blade steaks
- juice from one lime (plus lime halves to serve)
- 8 white flour tortillas
- crumbly feta
- thinly sliced radish
- chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat grill to high heat. Dry roast cumin seeds until fragrant and toasted (1 minute), set aside to cool slightly, then coarsely crush with a mortar and pestle. Place half in a bowl and reserve for the chismol. Place remainder in a container with garlic, oregano and oil and season to taste. Add steaks, turn to coat and set aside while you prepare the chismol.
- For chismol, halve tomatoes, squeeze out the seeds (discard), then dice tomato and place in a bowl. Add onion, red pepper, lime juice, oregano, reserved cumin, 2 tbsp cold water and 1 tsp sea salt flakes and mix to combine.
- Add lime juice to steaks, turn to coat, then transfer to grill and grill, turning once, until caramelized and cooked medium-rare (8 minutes). Set aside to rest (5 minutes), then thinly slice.
- Heat a cast-iron frying pan and heat tortillas over high heat, turning occasionally, until golden and warmed through (20-30 seconds each side). Wrap in a tea towel to steam lightly and keep warm. Serve with steak, chismol, feta, radish and cilantro, and serve with lime halves and extra chismol.
