Steak tacos with different ingredients.
Your next taco Tuesday can get a flavor boost with just a simple ingredient: cornstarch. Adding cornstarch will help spices adhere evenly to the steak before grilling or roasting.
Cornstarch and an ear of corn.
Cornstarch prevents caking and keeps clumps from forming in other ingredients, providing an evenly seasoned steak full of rich flavor and texture.

Clumping can happen as moisture builds and the steak cooks, meaning some bites of steak will be left without any seasoning, while others have an overpowering amount of spices.
