Steak Tacos with Chimichurri

Serves: 2

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Scotch Fillet Steaks

• Olive oil, for cooking

• 4 small tacos or tortillas

• 1 tomato, diced

• ½ avocado, sliced

• ¼ red onion, finely diced

• Handful of coriander leaves

• Juice of ½ lime

• 1 spring onion, sliced

• 1 small red chilli, sliced

• 2 tbsp chimichurri sauce

Method

1. Season the scotch fillet steaks with salt and a drizzle of olive oil, then cook to your liking in a hot pan.

2. Rest the steaks. In the same pan, toast the tortillas so they absorb the meat juices and get slightly crisp.

3. Slice the rested steak thinly. Combine tomato, avocado, red onion, coriander and lime juice to make a quick fresh salad.

4. Layer the sliced steak and salad into the tortillas.

5. Drizzle over the chimichurri sauce, garnish with spring onion and sliced chilli. Serve immediately.

Why this recipe works

Using a premium cut like scotch fillet maintains that juicy, beefy flavour in a dish that feels casual yet elevated. Toasting the tortillas in the steak pan pulls in caramelised flavour. The bright salad and herb-rich chimichurri give freshness and balance: if you’ve searched easy steak taco recipes, how to cook steak for tacos, or chimichurri steak tacos, this recipe ticks all the boxes.

Serving suggestion

Serve with a side of black beans or corn salsa for extra colour. For a lighter option, swap tortillas for lettuce wraps or use flank steak for a leaner take.
