Description
These Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Beef Tacos combine tender beef, garlic butter, sweet honey, and smoky BBQ sauce wrapped in warm tortillas for a flavor-packed dinner.
Ingredients
1 ½ lbs flank steak or chuck roast, thinly sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
⅓ cup honey
½ cup BBQ sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp chili powder
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
10 small flour or corn tortillas
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
½ cup chopped red onions
1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
Fresh cilantro, chopped
Lime wedges
Instructions
Slice the beef thinly against the grain and season with salt and pepper.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and sauté garlic until fragrant.
Stir in honey, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, paprika, chili powder, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet and sear the beef in batches until browned.
Return all beef to the skillet and pour in the sauce. Toss to coat and cook for 2–3 more minutes.
Warm the tortillas in a skillet or oven.
Assemble the tacos with beef, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges and extra sauce if desired.
Notes
Use chicken or pork as a substitute for beef. For added flavor, grill the beef before slicing. Make it spicier with hot BBQ sauce or more red pepper flakes.
