Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • mixing bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Ribeye steaks
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle paste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 8 mini tortillas
  • 2 avocados
  • 50 g feta

For the pickled red onions

  • ½ cup rice wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 red onion

Instructions
 

  • If you're making quick pickled onions, combine vinegar, water, and sugar, then heat in the microwave for a minute. Stir in the sliced red onions and set aside to pickle.
    ½ cup rice wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 red onion, ¼ cup water
  • Massage the ribeye steaks with chipotle paste, lime juice, olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let them sit while you prep the rest of your ingredients so the flavors can sink in.
    2 Ribeye steaks, 1 tablespoon chipotle paste, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 lime, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, Salt and pepper
  • Mix softened butter with honey. Set aside a couple of teaspoons for drizzling later. The rest will be used to baste the steak while it cooks.
    2 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon honey
  • Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy pan until smoking hot. Add the steak and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side depending on thickness. During the final minute, baste generously with the honey butter to form a sticky, flavorful crust. Remove from the pan and let the steak rest for a few minutes so the juices stay in the meat when sliced.
  • In the same pan or on a dry skillet, toast each mini tortilla until lightly charred and warm. Mash the avocado with lime juice and a pinch of salt to make a creamy base for your tacos.
    8 mini tortillas
  • Spread a layer of smashed avocado on each tortilla. Add thin slices of steak, top with crumbled feta, pickled onions, and a final drizzle of the reserved honey butter.
    2 avocados, 50 g feta

Notes

Make sure your pan is very hot before adding the steak. A screaming-hot cast iron gives you that golden crust quickly without overcooking the inside. Don’t overcrowd the pan or it’ll steam instead of sear.
