  • ½ tsp Kosher salt

  • 2 ripe avocados


Preparation


  1. Marinate the Steaks: In a food-safe bag, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, and water. Add the steaks, seal the bag, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Discard the marinade before grilling.


2. Prepare the Sauces:


  • Pico de Gallo: In a small bowl, mix together chopped tomatoes, diced onion, minced jalapeños, chopped cilantro, lemon juice, Kosher salt, minced garlic, and ground black pepper. Set aside.

  • Red Sauce: Combine diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, garlic, and cilantro in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Set aside.

  • Salsa Verde: Blend tomatillos, serrano peppers, cilantro, lime juice, and Kosher salt in a blender or food processor until smooth. Set aside.

  • Guacamole: In a small bowl, mash avocados until chunky. Stir in diced onion, minced garlic, lemon juice, Kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until combined. Set aside.


3. Grill the Steaks:

1. Preheat your grill to 400°F.

2. Remove the steaks from the marinade and discard the marinade.

3. Place the steaks on oiled grill grates and cook for 5 minutes on one side, or until moisture starts to pool on the top and the steak releases easily from the grill.

4. Flip and grill the other side for 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium rare (temperature will rise to 145°F as it rests).

5. Transfer the steaks to a plate and let them rest for 7-10 minutes.

Slice thinly against the grain.


4. Assemble the Tacos:

1. Arrange the flour tortillas on a platter.

2. Spread a generous layer of guacamole on each tortilla.

3. Top with slices of steak.

4. Add pico de gallo, red sauce, and salsa verde as desired.


Serve and enjoy!
