Serves: 16 tacos
INGREDIENTS:
  • 4¼ lb pieces of steak
  • 16 medium-large leaves of lettuce, swiss chard or cabbage (I used savoy cabbage because it is thick and sturdy)
  • Steak rub
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons cumin
  • 2 tablespoons sumac
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon thyme
  • 2 teaspoons palm or raw sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • Tomato corn salsa
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup tomato, seeds removed and diced finely (2 small or 1 large)
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon red onion, chopped very finely
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (from ½ of a lime)
  • 1 teaspoon cold-pressed olive oil
  • ½ garlic clove, minced
  • Sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste
  • Guacamole
  • 2 avocados
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)
  • 1 tablespoon red onion, chopped very finely
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ½ garlic clove, minced
  • Sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Combine the spice rub ingredients in a small bowl and mix until evenly combined. Use your fingers to pat a thin layer all around each piece of steak then set aside until it comes to room temperature (around 20 minutes). Meanwhile, mix all the salsa and guacamole ingredients together, each in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat up the BBQ to medium heat and grill the steaks, flipping halfway through. For an average thickness of around 1 inch it will take around 8 minutes for medium rare, 8 minutes for medium and 12 for well done. Remove from the grill and set aside for 5-10 minutes then cut each steak into thin strips and assemble tacos.
