Are you looking for a steak taco recipe? I have posted about steak tacos before, in this recipe for Steak Taco With Avocado and Tomatoes. Here is a different twist on steak tacos, this one with caramelized leeks and goat cheese.

It is pretty easy to make steak tacos and create your own twists on them. Flank steak is great in tacos. But it can sometimes be chewy. In order to make your flank steak taco very tasty and not tough or chewy, you must cut your flank steak thinly and you must cut it against the grain. If you cut it with the grain, the flank steak will be impossible to chew. So make sure to cut it against the grain.

To make your flank steak taco, you will need to first make Caramelized leeks. They simple to make, and they will add additional flavor to your steak tacos.

Then you will need to cook your flank steak. Once your steak is cooked, let it rest, and warm up your tortillas. Once the steak is ready to cut, cut it thinly against the grain and assemble your tortillas. Top each tortilla with steak, caramelized leeks and goat cheese.

And here is another recipe with leeks: Potato Leek Soup Recipe.

In the meantime, pre-heat the oven to 375F. Put the flank steak in the oven to finish cooking to the desired level of doneness. Depending on your steak, and how you want it cooked, it can take 10-25 minutes. Make sure to check the steak temperature with a meat thermometer, so that you don’t undercook and that you don’t overcook your steak.

Well-done steak is 160F.
Medium-well steak 150-155F.
Medium steak 140-145F, etc.

Once you take the steak out of the oven, let it rest for 10-15 minutes. After it rests put it on a cutting board and cut it thinly, against the grain.

Warm up the tortillas. Crumble goat cheese. Put together your flank steak tacos – arrange flank steak on a tortilla and top with caramelized leeks and crumbled goat cheese.
