Ingredients

• 1 lb Flank steak
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Sea salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 8 whole leaves Romaine lettuce leaves (or Bibb lettuce)
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 1 whole Lime, cut into wedges
• 1 whole Avocado, sliced
• 2 tbsp Whole30-approved hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, sea salt, and black pepper to create the spice rub.

Step 2

Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels and rub both sides with olive oil. Evenly coat the steak with the spice rub, pressing it onto the meat.

Step 3

Heat a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (130°F for medium-rare).

Step 4

Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes so the juices redistribute.

Step 5

While the steak rests, prepare the taco toppings: wash and dry the lettuce leaves, chop the cilantro, dice the red onion, and slice the avocado.

Step 6

Thinly slice the steak against the grain into bite-sized strips.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by layering the steak slices into the lettuce leaves, and topping with cilantro, red onion, and avocado. Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and drizzle with Whole30-approved hot sauce if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Street Steak Tacos!
