Recipe For Sweet and Tangy Steak Tacos
Serves two. Each taco is 150 calories.
- 1 ½ lbs Steak (Sirloin or Skirt)
- 1/2 Cup of Cabernet Sauvignon
- 1 Cup of Honey BBQ Sauce
- 2 Tbs of Jelly (Plum or Strawberry)
- 1 Drizzle of Honey
- 2 Tsp of Chili Powder
- 1 Tsp of Black Pepper
- 1 Cup of Long Grain Brown Rice
- ½ Cup of Salsa
- 1 Cup of Water
- 6-10 Small Corn Tortillas
- Fat Free Sour Cream (if desired)
How To Make Sweet and Tangy Steak Tacos
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Boil the water in a small or medium saucepan over high heat. Once boiling, add the salsa and rice. Reduce heat to low. Cover and stir occasionally.
- While rice is cooking, prepare the steak by trimming the fat and chopping into small cubes. Set aside.
- In a large frying pan, combine the wine, BBQ sauce, jelly, honey, chili powder, and pepper. Stir well.
- Add steak and heat frying pan over medium-high heat, stirring moderately.
- Rice is done when all of the water has been absorbed, holes appear on the surface, and rice is thick and fluffy. Remove from heat.
- Steak is done when the sauce is very reduced and bubbly. Remove from heat.
- Warm tortillas in preheated oven for 3-4 minutes at the most. Tortillas should be soft and pliable, never rubbery.
How To Serve Sweet and Tangy Steak Tacos
- Put the rice in one bowl, the sauce-covered steak in another, each with its own serving spoon.
- Put the warm tortillas onto a small plate. Cover to maintain warmth.
- Spread two tablespoons of rice onto a tortilla. Add two tablespoons of steak. Top with sour cream (highly recommended).
- Most importantly, enjoy!
