681 gm | New York striploin, steak (medium to large sized filet) |
2 tsp | Extra virgin olive oil |
1/2 tsp | Sea Salt (or to taste) |
1/4 tsp | Black pepper (or to taste) |
8 small tortilla(s) | Tortilla, corn (organic) |

1. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
2. For the steak: in a glass bowl or dish add olive oil, salt and pepper to the steak fillet, turning until the entire steak is covered. Add steak to the pan and cook approximately 5 minutes each side. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. Slice the cooled steak.
3. For the tortillas: to the hot pan, add the corn tortillas to warm slightly, approximately 30 seconds each side. Wrap the warm tortillas in a clean dish towel until we are ready to plate.
4. To plate: place two tortillas on each plate. Divide the steak onto each tortilla. Divide avocado slices between the tortillas and a sprinkle of cilantro. Squeeze some lime juice.
5. Optional: serve with guacamole, pico de gallo and fresh salsa's for an authentic taco experience. See notes.
