It’s so dang hot hot and things are super duper busy here at casa Cartier. When the sweltering heat kicks in, all ya really want to do is kick back with a cold one and eat something simple off the grill. That’s why summer is totally taco time! It’s an easy and delicious way to make a customizable meal for friends and family. This steak taco boasts loads of fresh flavors and gets a nice crunch from a bed of pea shoots instead of the more traditional lettuce. An ice cold beer (or whiskey) and a hand full of steak taco is a great way to beat the heat and keep the party going. If you’d like a richer, more savory spin try topping your taco with this chimichurri sauce recipe. It. Is. Awesome.
