How to cook deliciously - Carne Asada Taco Cups

1. Stage

In a medium bowl, whisk orange juice, garlic, oil, cilantro, if using, lime juice, and soy sauce.

2. Stage

Place steak between 2 pieces of parchment and pound with the spiked side of a GoodCook Meat Tenderizer until just tenderized. Place steak in marinade, cover, and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours. 

3. Stage

Preheat oven to 350º. Let steak come to room temperature.

4. Stage

Press 2 cut tortilla triangles into each cup of a 24-cup mini muffin tin, forming a mini tortilla bowl.

5. Stage

Bake tortillas until crispy and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

6. Stage

Lightly oil a cast-iron pan and heat over high until it starts to barely smoke. Cook steak, turning occasionally, until a GoodCook Digital Folding Thermometer inserted into thickest part of steak registers 145º for medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer steak to a cutting board; season all over with salt and pepper. Let rest 5 to 7 minutes.

7. Stage

Slice steak against the grain, then cut crosswise into small pieces.

8. Stage

Place a spoonful of salsa into bottom of each tortilla cup, then add a few pieces of steak and top with sour cream. Garnish with scallions and tomatoes.
