- 1/4 cup pilsner
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp hot sauce
- 6-8 radishes, sliced

Spice mix
- 3 tablespoons chili-lime seasoning (such as tahini)
- 1 tbsp ground ancho pepper
- Zest of 2 limes
- Olive oil to grease the grill
- 12-18 warm corn or wheat tortillas
Preparation:
- Marinade:
Combine the beer, tomato sauce, and oil in a large zip-lock bag. Squeeze the limes into the bag and place them in the bag. Add the steaks, season with salt and pepper, and seal.
- Marinate at room temperature for 1-2 hours. Remove the steaks from the bag and discard the contents. Pat the steaks dry on both sides and lightly season with salt and pepper.
- Pico de Gallo:
Place the tomatoes, beer, cilantro, onion, lime juice, hot sauce, radishes, jalapeño, and a pinch of salt and black pepper in a large bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil, toss, and let sit at room temperature until ready to serve.
- Spice mix:
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. In a small bowl, combine the lime chili seasoning, chili powder, and zest. Sprinkle the steaks with the spice mixture and rub on both sides. Lightly oil the grill grates.
- Place the steaks flat-side down on the grill and cook, turning once, for about 8 minutes total. Transfer the steaks to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Let rest for at least 5 minutes. Thinly slice the steaks across the grain.
- Taco:
Heat the tortillas and spread the beef and Pico de Gallo on them.
