Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the avocado into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves. Cut the green onion into small circles.

  2. 2

    For the flank steak, pat it dry thoroughly on both sides with a paper towel without pressing. This helps achieve a better sear.

  3. 3

    Season both sides of the dry flank steak generously with salt.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 4

    Heat a cast iron pan over high heat until it's very hot. Add avocado oil to coat the bottom.

  2. 5

    Carefully place the flank steak in the hot pan and sear for 2 minutes on each side to create a beautiful crust.

    Timer2 min
  3. 6

    Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

    Timer10 min
  4. 7

    While the steak rests, melt 50 grams of butter in the same cast iron pan over medium heat. Add the sprigs of rosemary and thyme.

  5. 8

    Return the rested steak to the pan. Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to continuously baste the steak with the melted herbed butter for 2 minutes on each side. This adds incredible flavor and tenderness.

    Timer2 min
  6. 9

    Remove the steak again and let it rest for another 5 minutes before thinly slicing it against the grain.

    Timer5 min

Sautéing the Shrimp

  1. 10

    In a separate pan, melt 10 g of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

    Timer30 s
  2. 11

    Add the shrimp to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become rubbery.

    Timer2 min
  3. 12

    Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

Crafting the Street Corn Salad

  1. 13

    In the same pan used for the shrimp (or a clean one), melt the remaining butter. Add the drained canned corn and cook for about 7 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly caramelized.

    Timer7 min
  2. 14

    Transfer the cooked corn to a mixing bowl. Add the sliced green onion, mayonnaise, crumbled feta, and lime juice.

  3. 15

    Season the corn salad with salt, black pepper, and chili flakes to taste. Mix everything well to combine.

Taco Assembly

  1. 16

    Warm your small tortillas according to package instructions (e.g., in a dry pan, microwave, or oven) until pliable.

  2. 17

    To assemble each taco, start with a layer of mixed green salads on the warm tortilla.

  3. 18

    Add a few slices of fresh avocado.

  4. 19

    Next, arrange some slices of the tender flank steak and a few of the juicy shrimp.

  5. 20

    Spoon a generous amount of the flavorful street corn salad over the top.

  6. 21

    Finish with a drizzle of sweet chili sauce.
