Street Corn Steak Tacos

JUMP TO RECIPE. Steak corn tacos: I'M IN LOVE!

I was clicking around Pinterest and found this easy highly rated recipe for street corn steak tacos that I just had to try.

These tacos are a total game-changer. The steak is juicy and flavorful, the corn is sweet and charred, and the combination is just perfect. I'm obsessed!

Here’s my quick review….  Honestly it was easy peasy, I loved that everything came together on a cookie sheet, it was so quick and made clean up a breeze! The steak rub was heaven, this steak had so much flavor, and I was skeptical how it would turn out throwing it under the broiler, but it turned out perfect. Broil the steak for about 12 minutes for medium rare. The only thing I’m going to do different next time is start the steak ahead of the corn. The corn got a little too roasted staying in there for the full time, next time add the corn when I flip the steaks.

Do not skip the street corn! It tasted absolutely delish and really made the tacos perfect, we topped our tacos off with some queso fresco and it was pure taco night magic! These are PERFECT for your end of summer menu! It's easy on your budget and even easier on your time.

What Makes These Tacos So Good?

• Quick and Easy: The whole meal comes together on one sheet pan, making cleanup a breeze.

• Flavorful Steak: The simple spice rub elevates the steak to new heights.

• Sweet and Charred Corn: The perfect balance of sweetness and smokiness.

Ingredients

STREET CORN:

• 1 bag (10 oz) Steam in bag Corn

• 1 teaspoon oil

• 1 teaspoon grated lime zest

• 1 tablespoon lime juice

• 1/8 teaspoon chili powder

• 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika

• 1/8 teaspoon salt

• 2 tablespoons sour cream

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise

• 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco cheese

• 1 t dried parsley (you can use cilantro instead)

STEAK:

• 1 teaspoon chili powder

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 pound beef flank steak or flat iron steak (1/2 to 3/4-inch thick)

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

• 8 corn tortillas (6 inch), warmed

Instructions:

1. Prep the Oven: Adjust oven rack to 6 inches from the broiler. Preheat broiler to high.

2. Prepare the Corn Dressing: Combine lime zest, lime juice, chili powder, paprika, salt, sour cream, mayonnaise, queso fresco, and parsley or cilantro in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate.

3. Season the Steak: Combine chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic, and onion powder. Rub steak with olive oil, then coat with spice mixture.

4. Broil: Place steak and corn on the baking sheet. Broil for about 12 minutes for medium rare, flipping steak halfway through (that is also when you need to add your steamed corn), (about 130°F for medium-rare). Let steak rest before slicing.

5. Corn: Microwave corn according to package directions. Open bag and pour in 1 teaspoon oil. Fold the bag over to close it and shake to coat corn with oil.

6. Check the steaks + add corn: Pull out cookie sheet and flip steaks. Pour corn onto baking sheet and spread over half of the pan.

7. Make the Street Corn: Remove dressing from refigerator and add in the roasted corn. Toss to coat and place back into fridge.

8. Assemble Tacos: Slice steak thinly. Warm tortillas and fill with steak, street corn, and your favorite toppings.
