- Heat a large cast iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add canola oil and sliced onions. Cook until just softened and charred, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and discard remaining marinade. Season steak with salt and pepper. Place steak in the pan or on the grill and cook for 5 to 8 minutes per side (time can vary depending on thickness of steak), flipping once and creating a nice char. Thermometer should read 140 to 145 for medium and 145 to 155 for medium well. Remove the steak and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain into 1/4 inch slices.
- For build your own tacos, serve steak slices with warmed tortillas, charred onions, remaining chimichurri, jalapenos, feta and cilantro. Or serve tacos assembled. Enjoy!
