Ingredients:

• 14 oz Brigade American Wagyu Prime Gold New York Strip
• 1-2 tbsp olive oil (roughly)
• 2 tbsp butter
• ¾ cup olive oil
• 1 tbsp orange juice
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp garlic, minced
• Orange, lime, and lemon peels
• 1 onion
• 2 tbsp white or red wine
• 1-2 tbsp butter
• 4 corn or flour tortillas

For the Mango-Avocado Salsa:

• 1 medium ripe mango
• 1 medium ripe avocado
• ⅓ cup diced red onion
• ¼ cup finely chopped cilantro
• 1 tbsp of marinade juice
• ¼-½ jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
• Salt to taste

Directions:

1. In a bowl, combine the marinade ingredients. For the orange, lime, and lemon peels, use a potato peeler. The more peels, the more intense the flavor.
2. Cut an onion into quarters.
3. In a gallon-sized ziplock bag, put the steak, marinade, and quartered onion together. Let marinate for 20 - 30 minutes, or 2 hours for a more intense flavor.
4. While that marinates, dice the red onion, cilantro, mango, and jalapeño (if using). Combine all the salsa ingredients and add a tablespoon of the marinade juice.
5. Once it's finished marinating, pull out the quartered onion and slice it. Remove the steak.
6. Drain the liquid out of the marinade bag, saving only a bit of the liquid and minced garlic. Discard the peels.
7. In a skillet over medium heat, drizzle a bit of olive oil, then pour in the minced garlic and a little of the remaining liquid. Cook the garlic for a minute, then add the onions.
8. Let the onions caramelize for about 30 minutes until they turn light golden brown. Deglaze the pan with 2 tablespoons of wine by scraping the bottom of the pan, then turn off the heat.
9. Heat a cast-iron skillet to medium-hot and drizzle in olive oil.
10. Wait 2-3 minutes before adding the New York strip.
11. Sear each side of the steak for 3 minutes. Check the internal temperature. For medium rare, the internal temperature should be 130°-135°F. For medium, 140°-145°F. For medium-well, 150°-155°F.
12. When the steak is cooked to your liking, turn off the heat. Add the butter and baste the steak by tilting the pan and spooning the butter over the steak. Remove the steak.
13. For better flavor, wipe the cast iron clear of any burnt pieces, turn the heat back to medium, and add butter to heat the tortillas. Otherwise, use another pan.
14. Assemble the tacos and enjoy!
