For the meat:
On a cutting board, cut the steak into ½ inch cubes and place into a bowl. Coat with 1 T oil and toss well. Apply the dry rub carne asada seasoning liberally and toss well until the beef cubes are richly seasoned. I used about 1 ½ T of the rub and applied more during cooking.
Reserve the steak covered in a refrigerator for several
hours if possible, if not proceed to the searing stage.
In your best heavy-bottomed saute pan, drizzle in a little
oil to coat the bottom of the pan well. Bring the heat up to high. Add 1 c. of
the steak cubes and spread them out with a wooden spatula.
Let the steak cubes brown nicely by resisting the urge to
stir. Toss them when you achieve a nice crust on one side (about 2 min) and
wish to brown more surface area. Cook to your level of doneness, I prefer
medium-rare. Know the steak cubes will continue to cook a little bit after they
are removed. Remove them to a plate where they can be kept warm.
Repeat this with the remaining batches. This is about 3
batches of steak for me.
Meanwhile, wrap the corn tortillas in a damp paper towel. Microwave 30 seconds or until the tortillas are pliable. Keep warm for assembling the tacos.
To assemble the tacos, lay 2 corn tortillas down and fill them with the steak mixture. Top with the diced white onion and cilantro. Top with crumbled white cheese if using. In the photo, I have topped this with our Creamy Jalapeno Taco Truck Sauce which is found here.
Serve limes alongside the tacos for squeezing on right before eating.
