Hi Everyone,
Today for #SundaySupper we teamed up with the Beef Checkoff to share with you healthy, flavorful recipes that will make your tongue sing and your belly dance. I am so excited for this recipe because it contains all things I love! Lots of flavor, a little bit of spice and little bit of sweetness, plus it is a breeze to make and low-calorie too! My recipe today is Sweet & Spicy Asian Beef Tacos.
Yum!!! I’m just so full of joy with this recipe. The tacos are made with a thinly sliced Top Round Beef that has been marinating in soy sauce, crushed garlic and chili paste. Topped with a sweet and spicy mango salsa on a bed of coleslaw mix. It is an amazing combination of flavors. To keep it healthy I served it in a corn tortilla. Oh man, I think I need a taco now!
I wasn’t sure what kind of beef to use, so I checked out the Beef Checkoff website and they have a section called the Interactive Butcher Counter. This is an awesome site for different cuts of beef. They have little green symbol called 
For the salsa I took fresh mango, and diced it up, added a little bit of red onion and of course I can’t have a taco without jalapenos. Plus, I squeezed a fresh lime on it. Perfect little combination. It’s juicy, sweet, a bit of citrus, plus a pinch of heat. It’s great on these tacos and great for dipping in chips. I made a big batch of it to get me through the weekend.
I marinated my meat for about an hour because I was starving and I don’t have the patience to wait any longer. But you could marinate it up to 4 hours if you would like. I cooked my Top Round Steak on the grill for about 5 minutes on each side. Since I got a thin cut of meat, it doesn’t take much time to cook. I actually cooked it perfectly, because it had a little strip of pink right down the middle. I have to admit, I am the grill master in my house. I know my Husband would have over cooked it and made it gray. He claims he likes his beef that way, but I think he’s crazy. To me, the less it’s cooked, the more flavor the beef has.
- 1¼ lbs. Top Round Steak
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 3 tsp. Asian chili paste
- 2 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 cup mangos, peeled, diced small
- ¼ cup onion,peeled, cut small
- 1 jalapeno, seeded, slice small
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 cup, coleslaw mix, raw, sliced small
- 10 corn tortillas
- In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, asian chili paste and garlic. Pour over steak and marinate for at least 1 hour up to 4 hours.
- Heat grill to medium. Throw the marinade out and add the steak to the grill. Cook for about 5 minutes each side. Take off grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Cut into thin strips.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, add mango, onion, jalapeno and lime juice. Mix until well combined.
- Evenly divide the coleslaw mix over corn tortillas. Top with sliced beef and mango salsa. Serve immediately. You can also top with cilantro if desired.
For the coleslaw mix, I bought a bag of the already mix cabbage with sliced carrots
