Steak tacos with green sauce

The green sauce makes these steak tacos look and taste gourmet. We adapted the recipe from a Cooks Illustrated one for indoor steak tacos.

We took at 1.5-pound sirloin, marinated it in half the recipe of green sauce, grilled it, sliced it and served it on warmed whole wheat flour tortillas with homemade guacamole and sour cream.

Green sauce

• 1/2 c packed cilantro 
• 3 med. garlic cloves, roughly chopped
• 3 med. scallions, chopped (about 1/3 cup)
• 1 med. jalapeño, stemmed and roughly chopped
• 1/2 tsp. cumin
• 1/4 c vegetable oil
• 1/4 c fresh lime juice
• Salt to taste

Put all the ingredients in a blender and pulse. Put half in a glass dish to marinate the steak with. Put the rest aside for a topping. Salt and pepper the steak. Marinate it for 30 minutes to an hour. Make sure it's setting at room temperature for the last 30 minutes, so that it's not cold when you put it on the grill. Grill it to your liking. Let it set for at least five minutes before slicing it.

I've actually tried these inside just as the recipe says, and it works very well, although it's time-consuming. But in the middle of winter, it might be worth it.
