Instructions
For the steak:
Remove any silver skin left on the piece of meat.
In a large zip lock bag mix the Worcestershire sauce, sriracha, and honey.
Add the meat and let sit in the marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Using a hot grill pan or outdoor grill, grill the flank steak for 5-7 minutes on each side for a medium rare steak. For a medium well steak cook for 10-11 minutes per side.
Once the flank steak has been cooked, rest on a plate for 5 minutes before slicing into it.
Slice this cut of meat against the grain. With the knife on a 45º angle slice the meat thin like 1/4 of an inch.
For the salsa and toppings:
For the tomatillo salsa, store bought is just fine, however I have the easiest most delicious tomatillo salsa recipe that you can find here.
In a bowl, smash the avocado until very smooth.
Add the sour cream and season with salt, pepper and a splash of lime juice. Mix well until everything is incorporated.
As far as toppings go that will go well with the tacos, think thinly shredded lettuce, crumbled mexican cheese (queso fresco), cilantro, scallions, jalapeño slices, pico de gallo, to mention just a few.
To assemble the tacos:
Spread the avocado cream on to the grilled tortilla.
Add 2-3 steak slices.
Drizzle the tomatillo salsa on top of the steak.
Add lettuce, crumbled cheese, scallions and cilantro.
