These Easy Marinated Grilled Steak Tacos were so tender and full of flavor! They are grain free, paleo, low carb and super simple, and only have a few ingredients. You can make these with lettuce cups or use any grain free or low carb favorite tortilla you prefer.

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.
