I've not ever had great success making steak tacos, but this marinade gave the steak such a yummy flavor - we both loved it. The original recipe calls for blending the marinade together and cooking on the grill, but I just put the marinade in a gallon-sized bag, then sliced the steak and pan-fried it. It was simple, easy to clean, and delicious.
