what's up you guys it's susie from heygrillhey.comand today i wanted to cook a recipe for you guys
that i've been making for my family pretty much weekly for the last couple of months and
it's not on the website so i figured it's time to share i also want to introduce you guys to my
brand new fiesta rub it is absolutely delicious and actually inspired this recipe so let's do it
now i'm a mom i have three kids and sometimes that means i have to get dinner on the table
pretty quickly and it has to be super easy and this is my go-to anytime my kids are having
you know friends like steak tacos they know it's gonna be awesome
i love to make steak tacos with flap meat it is my new beefy obsession and it's becoming more and
more available it's generally quite affordable i thought i was your beefy obsession todd is awesome
in terms of like never mind this is the stuff that i want when i'm making tacos for my family
it's really well marbled come take a look at this guy it's usually about an inch and a half thick
but most stores trim it down to about a quarter inch thick and it just makes it so beautiful for
quick hot and fast grilling this is going to cook in maybe five minutes which is lovely and there's
a ton of fat in here so it's really flavorful and when it's chopped up and put inside of tacos
my mouth is watering like a fountain it's so delicious so all we're going to do is drizzle
this beautiful beef with some avocado oil avocado is a great high temperature cooking oil
it'll give me a nice crusty sear when it combines with the rub on the outside of the steak you
probably need about one to two tablespoons total this is approximately two pounds of flap steak
now if you find yourself home during the day or you know you have a little bit of time
before you go to work this is something that you can do in the morning and then
pop into a ziploc bag and let it marinate all day but it also works beautifully if you just
want to season it right before you throw it on the grill which is how i'm gonna play it today
then we season on all sides with the fiesta rub now if you want to make a homemade kind
of southwestern flare seasoning i have one on my website it's called the sob rub so search like
hey grill hey sob rub and there will be a recipe that's similar enough to this that you can get
a really delicious flavor at home with the bottled version we kind of were able to do some really
fun things with chili powder so this has ancho chili powder in it has chipotle chili powder in it
it has lime and mexican oregano and salt and pepper and it is delicious for hot and
fast grilling but we also love it in chile we love it on like ground beef tacos what
else have we put this on top i feel like we've put it on everything shrimp chicken
it's delicious eggs oh you did put it on eggs didn't you we've literally
been putting it on everything lately breakfast burrito yes
just season liberally on both sides
now if you are going to be marinating this for a few hours ahead of time
when you put this seasoned meat into the bag i would actually
squeeze these limes into the bag with the meat so two limes for two pounds of flap steak
and kind of let that acidity work on the meat it's going to add a lot of flavor
and it's going to make you know some tenderness happen inside the meat i'm not going to marinate
today so i'm keeping my limes on the side and i'm actually going to squeeze them over the top as
it's grilling so that acidity is really like fresh and bright and popping i can smell the cumin it
smells so good like there's a really fragrant rub i love it okay we have our charcoal grill we've
got some charcoal heating up we're gonna dump this out we just want hot even heat across the bottom i
want my grill to be rocking at least 450 up to 500 degrees fahrenheit like i said this is gonna go
quick so i'm gonna have my thermometer handy and i'm gonna have a clean cutting board handy so that
i can pull my steak onto the cutting board and let it rest while we get everything else ready for
tacos grill's hot grill's hot i got all the taco stuff ready inside
so that's just time to pop these bad boys on the grill they look and smell so good
the texture of the seasoning is awesome and like i said this is gonna take like
just a couple of minutes per side so be ready to take them right off when you're done
so it smells so good
all right my beautiful steak has rested i'm gonna chop it into pieces now if i were to be
cutting this into strips i would tell you make sure you cut against the grain
but to be honest with you i hate steak tacos that have strips in them because no matter
what when you bite into it it never comes all the way apart and you end up pulling a whole
piece of steak down then it flops on your chin so i chop my flap steak when i put it into my tacos
so i just do one strip one one direction then turn it 90 degrees and cut it the others
perfect little bites for steak tacos
i don't know how far i'm going to be able to get through these before my kids mutiny
they heard i was making steak tacos and they were like yeah can we come eat those
so they'll probably make an appearance here in a minute
oh my gosh i swear flap has such a distinct
beefy flavor it's different than skirt it's different than flank it was absolutely delicious
okay i'm gonna warm up my tortillas on my hot grill then we're gonna make some tacos or i'm
just gonna stand here and eat all the meat straight off the cutting board either way
all right we've got waiters in the wings who are eager for some tacos do you guys want to
come get some tacos yeah okay come on here what do you want in yours guys steak steak steak
okay what do you want on top yeah do you want lime do you want cilantro do you want cheese
all right just lime and cilantro keeping it simple for this guy
okay and no we we did get steak yep and the steaks in there you like everything on yours yes yes
all right so for toppings we really do keep it super simple lime cilantro i like to dice up
some onions and then i have some queso fresco crumbly cheese that is salty and so delicious
okay what do you guys think this is this is the taste test time
dad's usually taste tester but you guys jumped in today is it good
