Crispy Steak Tacos with Cilantro Lime Crema
- 1/4 cups Mayonnaise
- 1/2 cups Sour Cream
- 1 whole Green Onion, Cut Into Chunks
- 1/2 whole Small Jalapeno, Seeded If You'd Like To Reduce The Spice Level
- 1 clove Peeled Garlic
- 1 whole Lime, Zested
- 1/2 whole Lime, Juiced
- 1/2 cups Cilantro Leaves
- Salt To Taste
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 pound Thin-cut Steak Such As Shoulder Tender, Very Cold (I Stick It In The Freezer For 10 Minutes Before Using)
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- Taco Shells, Lime Wedges, And Anything Else You'd Like To Build Tacos
- For the crema: Combine all of the listed crema ingredients in a small blender or food processor.
- Pulse to puree and taste.
- Add salt or more lime juice to your taste.
- For the tacos: Turn a large skillet to medium-high heat with the olive oil.
- Combine all of the spices in a small bowl.
- For the steak, very thinly slice the cold steak into strips against the grain.
- Sprinkle with the spices and let it sit for a few minutes while the pan preheats.
- When the pan is very hot, add the butter.
- When the butter melts and foams, add the steak in one layer (not too close togetheryou might need to cook a few batches of meat) and let it cook for 3 minutes until the bottom is brown and crispy.
- Flip the steak and let it cook for 2-3 minutes on the second side until the meat is crispy and nearly cooked through.
- Remove the cooked steak to a plate.
- Repeat with the remaining meat, if necessary.
- Build tacos as you like with the beef and cilantro sauce.
- Enjoy!
