Instructions
Creating Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Beef Tacos is simple. Follow these steps to ensure each bite is filled with flavor:
1. Prepare the Beef: If using flank steak, slice it against the grain into thin strips. For ground beef, crumble it into small pieces.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Beef: Add the beef to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and onion powder. Cook until browned (about 5-7 minutes for flank steak; 6-8 minutes for ground beef).
4. Make Garlic Butter Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Mix in Honey and BBQ Sauce: Stir in honey and BBQ sauce into the garlic butter mixture. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes, thickening slightly.
6. Combine Mixtures: Pour the garlic butter honey BBQ sauce over the cooked beef. Stir to coat evenly and heat through.
7. Warm the Tortillas: In another pan, lightly toast tortillas for 30 seconds on each side, or until warm and pliable.
8. Assemble Tacos: Fill each tortilla with a generous amount of the beef mixture.
9. Garnish: Top with fresh cilantro and optional sliced jalapeños.
10. Serve Immediately: Arrange tacos on a platter with lime wedges for squeezing on top.
