5-6 cloves garlic, minced
½ jalapeño, finely chopped (remove vien and seeds if you don't want it too spicy)

several grinds of fresh black pepper

Directions:
Combine marinade ingredients in small bowl and mix well.

Put steak and marinade in zip lock bag and let steak marinate for a few hours. - I did 24 hours

Remove steak from marinade. Grill steak to desired doneness (preferably medium rare).

Remove from grill and let steak rest a bit, then slice against grain into thin strips.

Fill warmed corn tortillas (use two per taco) with some steak, top with additional cilantro, onions and squeeze of lime.


For a more non-traditional street taco add other toppings like avocado, cheese or pico de gallo. If you want more spice top with your favorite hot sauce.
