Ingredients

1 pound skirt steak
1 tablespoon chilli powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Eight 6-inch corn tortillas
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium red onion, halved and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Sour cream, guacamole, salsa verde, pico de gallo and shredded Mexican-blend cheese, for serving

Method

Slice the skirt steak into 3-inch pieces along the grain, then cut each piece across the grain into strips about 1/3-inch thick. Place the steak strips in a medium bowl and combine with the chilli powder, dried oregano, sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and several grinds of black pepper.
Place a large nonstick skillet over high heat. While it heats, wrap the corn tortillas in a clean dishtowel and microwave them on full power for 1 minute. Keep them wrapped in the towel until you are ready to assemble the tacos.
Once the skillet is hot, pour in the vegetable oil. Add the seasoned steak in a single layer. Allow it to cook without stirring for 2 minutes, then stir well and continue cooking until browned, which should take about 1 1/2 minutes more.
Move the cooked steak to a medium bowl. Promptly add the sliced red onion to the same hot skillet. Stir the onion until it browns and softens slightly, cooking for about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer the onion to the bowl with the steak and mix together.
Arrange a serving station with the combined steak and onions, the warmed tortillas, and bowls of sour cream, guacamole, salsa verde, pico de gallo, and shredded Mexican-blend cheese for everyone to assemble their own tacos.
