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. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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. 5

    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.

  6. 6

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

Sautéing the Shrimp

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

Crafting the Street Corn Salad

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

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

Taco Assembly

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    Add a few slices of fresh avocado.

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    Finish with a drizzle of sweet chili sauce.
