Cilantro Tequila Marinated Flank Steak With Chipotle Mayo

Cilantro Tequila Marinated  Flank Steak With Chipotle Mayo


1. In a medium bowl, combine the cilantro, garlic, shallot, serrano pepper, cumin, lime juice, 1/4 cup of the olive oil and tequila. Whisk to combine and place in a 1-gallon re-sealable food storage bag with the flank steak. Allow to marinate at room temperature for 45 minutes.

2. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and brush the grates with an oil soaked rag. Remove the steak from the marinade and scrape off any excess marinade. Season the steak on both sides with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the kosher salt and the black pepper. Place on the grill and cook for 4-15 mins on each side (depending on how done you would like it). Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes on a cutting board before slicing against the grain.

3. Set a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the green, red and yellow bell peppers as well as the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of the kosher salt to the pan and saute, stirring often until the peppers are softened and well caramelized, about 4 to 5 minutes.

4. Toast the tortillas in a hot dry pan, or directly over an open flame until lightly toasted and warmed through. Serve the tortillas with the steak, peppers, Guacamole and Chipotle Mayonnaise.
