Grilled Steak Tacos with Jalapeño and Chilli Egg Mayo

Ingredients

For the steak
600-700g scotch fillet steaks (or sirloin), about 2 pieces
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
Pinch of salt and pepper
1 tbsp UmamiPapi Crispy Chilli Oil
For the jalapeño salsa
1 fresh jalapeño, finely chopped (deseeded if preferred)
½ red onion, finely chopped
½ cup coriander, finely chopped
1 avocado, finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1 tsp UmamiPapi Crispy Chilli Oil
Pinch of salt and pepper, to taste
To serve
UmamiPapi Chilli Egg Mayo
8 small tortillas (corn or flour)
100g feta, crumbled
Lime wedges, to serve

METHOD

1. Place the steak on a plate and coat with olive oil, paprika, cumin, crispy chilli oil, salt and pepper, rubbing to evenly cover. Set aside while you prepare the salsa, or marinate for up to 30 minutes if time allows.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the jalapeño, onion, coriander and avocado. Add lime juice, crispy chilli oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.

3. Heat a frying pan over high heat with a light drizzle of olive oil. Cook the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Transfer to a board and rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

4. Warm the tortillas just before serving so they are soft and pliable. Heat in a hot, dry frying pan for 20-30 seconds per side until lightly charred, or place directly over a gas flame for a few seconds. Alternatively, wrap in foil and warm in a 160°C oven for 10-15 minutes. Keep wrapped in a clean tea towel until ready to serve.

5. To assemble, fill each tortilla with sliced steak, then spoon over the jalapeño salsa. Drizzle with the chilli egg mayo, and finish with crumbled feta and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately.
