Tips
Longer marinating time intensifies flavor; prepare steak several hours ahead if possible.
Medium heat prevents burning marinade on tortillas; control pan temperature carefully.
Resting steak allows carryover cooking and juices to redistribute.
Good to Know
Cooked steak keeps refrigerated for 3-4 days. Assemble tacos just before serving to prevent tortillas from softening.
Marinate steak up to 8 hours. Prepare peppers and burrata in advance; cook steak and assemble within 20 minutes of serving.
Serve immediately on warm tortillas with lime wedges on the side. Offer extra cilantro and jalapeños for individual preference.
Common Mistakes
Do not skip the 5-minute rest; it prevents juices from running out when sliced.
Discard marinade after cooking to avoid excess salt accumulation.
Do not overcook burrata; handle gently to preserve creamy center.
