Serves 4 • Prep 20 min • Cook 10–12 min

Juicy, seared steak bites seasoned with Texas Steak Rub and a touch of Big Chili Style. Finished with a crunchy radish guacamole and a quick creamy verde sauce. Optional kick from HXT Sauce.

Ingredients

Steak

  • 1½ lbs ribeye, strip, or sirloin (or leftover cooked steak), cut into ¾–1" cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Texas Steak Rub
  • 1 tsp Big Chili Style
  • 1 lime, juiced

Guacamole

  • 3 ripe avocados
  • ½ small red onion, finely diced
  • 1–2 radishes, finely diced (crunchy tomato swap)
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded & minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
  • ½ tsp Big Chili Style, or to taste
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Creamy Verde Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 jalapeño, chopped
  • ½ cup cilantro leaves
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt, to taste

To Serve

  • 12 warm corn or flour tortillas
  • HXT Sauce (optional)
  • Extra lime wedges, chopped cilantro, thinly sliced radishes (optional)

Directions

  1. Season the steak: Pat dry. Toss with olive oil, lime juice, Texas Steak Rub, and Big Chili Style. Marinate 15–20 minutes (skip marinating if using leftover cooked steak).
  2. Sear: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high until very hot. Work in batches; sear steak cubes 2–3 minutes per side until browned and to preferred doneness. Transfer to a plate and rest 3 minutes.
  3. Guacamole: In a bowl, mash avocados to a chunky texture. Fold in onion, radishes, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, Big Chili Style, and salt. Taste and adjust. Keep covered (plastic wrap pressed to surface) until serving.
  4. Creamy verde: Blend mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt until smooth. Chill.
  5. Warm tortillas: Toast on a dry skillet or directly over a low flame until pliable.
  6. Assemble: Fill tortillas with steak bites. Top with a spoon of guacamole and a drizzle of creamy verde. Add cilantro, radish, and a hit of HXT Sauce if you like heat.

Tip: Using leftover steak? Warm quickly in the hot skillet with a splash of lime to avoid overcooking.
