How to Steak Tacos on the Blackstone Griddle
Step 1 – In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, oregano, onion powder, smoked paprika, and ground cinnamon.
Step 2 – Rub the steak with avocado oil and sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the steak, pressing it into the meat.
Step 3 – Preheat the Blackstone griddle to high heat. Place the steak on the hot griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired.
Step 4 – Remove the steak from the griddle and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
Step 5 – While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the griddle for about 30 seconds per side.
Step 6 – Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. To assemble the tacos, place some sliced steak on each warm tortilla. Top with diced tomatoes, red onion, and chopped cilantro. Serve tacos with fresh lime.
Expert Tips
- Dry Rub – For the best flavor, make sure to add the dry rub to both sides of the steak. Rub the steak with oil first which allows the seasoning to stick.
- Prepare Grill – Preheat the griddle to medium high heat before placing the steak on the griddle. This allows for the steak to have a nice sear.
- Rest Steak – After cooking the steak, allow the steak to rest to lock in the juices.
