Ingredients
- 2 pounds pre-sliced steak Costco-style
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients until combined.
- Add the pre-sliced steak to the marinade and toss until fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 6 hours.
- Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated steak to the hot skillet in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Cook quickly until just cooked through and lightly caramelized.
- Toast the flour tortillas over a gas flame or in a dry skillet until lightly charred on both sides.
- Assemble the tacos by adding steak to each tortilla and topping with slaw, guacamole, diced tomatoes, and a squeeze of fresh citrus. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Pre-sliced steak saves time and cooks evenly, making it ideal for tacos.
- Marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 6 hours to avoid over-tenderizing the meat.
- Flour tortillas hold up especially well with juicy steak, but corn tortillas can be used if preferred.
