Pro Tips & Suggestions

Expert advice for the best results

For extra flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the marinade.

Marinate the steak for as long as possible for the best flavor and tenderness.

Let the steak rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for optimal pliability.
