Steak tacos are a great midweek meal that really let the meat do the talking. An Asian style sauce really complements the juicy and flavourful meat, and the garnishes add another level of flavour and texture. The key to making these steak tacos really great is buying the best cut of meat you can afford - you’ll really taste the difference. Tacos are a great dish to share with friends and family. Make it an interactive meal and let everyone get involved by assembling their own tacos. This also means everyone can cater to their own tastes and add more or less of the toppings and garnishes, according to their own preferences. If you have one veggie in the group, you can use Quorn or tofu instead of steak, and omit the oyster sauce from the sauce.
