Season Steak For Tacos Using A Single Extra Ingredient

NEWS

By KATIE MELYNN

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 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.
The cornstarch doesn't add flavor but ensures that your steak is consistently flavorful, which helps it form a tasty crust that works so well in steak tacos.
