These Easy Marinated Grilled Steak Tacos are so tender and full of flavor! They are grain-free, paleo, low carb, and super simple, and only have a few ingredients.
PinYou can make these with lettuce cups or use any grain-free or low carb favorite tortilla you prefer.
I used lettuce cups, or I also use my easy keto tortilla recipe below
Also, you can make this as a grilled steak without making tacos. I have already made these 3 times in a row, as requested by my family.
My husband liked the flavor of the steak in the tacos so much, he requested that I make him just the marinated grilled steak without using it in tacos.
These can be made on the BBQ grill, or an electric indoor grill, or stove-top grilling pan.
