Oh, yes. I went there.ย Donโt run away from peanut butter on your dinner plate!
I had a peanut butter steak taco the other day at a local taqueria, and fell in love. ย Thereโs something addictive about warm, melty peanut butter drizzled with sriracha and gooey cheese.
Weโve dragged all of our friends to this taqueria solely for this taco. ย If you come with us and donโt order it?โdonโt expect to be our friends anymore. ย Kidding! {kind of}
The version I had at the restaurant also had pickles and crispy bacon on top, but something tells me that might be too much for you. ย If not, letโs be best friends.
To make these tacos for two, I used a chunk of London broil that weighed slightly less than 3/4 of a pound. ย I seared it quickly in a cast iron skillet. ย Meanwhile, I warmed the tortillas on an open flameโthis is one of my favorite pasttimes, by the way. ย I love the crispy bits on a flame-warmed tortilla. ย Next, scoop the steak into the tacos, drizzle with sriracha and mozzarella cheese, and finally the warmed peanut butter. ย Serve with cilantro and lime slices for spritzing, and youโre on your way to one great taco!
Letโs talk about cheese for a hot minute. ย One of the main perks of this taco is gooey, stretchy cheese. ย
Peanut Butter Steak Tacos (with sriracha!)
Mix up your Tuesday with these delicious peanut steak tacos!
Ingredients
- 4 burrito-sized tortillas
- 3/4 pound of London broil, diced into 1" chunks
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons sriracha chile sauce
- handful of cilantro springs
- 1/2 a lime
Instructions
- Preheat a cast iron skillet to high. When hot (you can hold a hand 6" from the surface for less than 5 seconds), add the beef cubes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and don't touch for a full 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the tortillas on an open flame (or wrapped in foil in a low oven). Warm the peanut butter in a small bowl. Have the cheese, sriracha, cilantro and lime ready.
- Stir the beef and flip each piece. Continue searing for another 1 minute. The beef should be slightly pink on the inside.
- Divide the beef between the tortillas. Top with mozzarella, peanut butter, sriracha, and cilantro sprigs. Squeeze lime juice on top and serve.

Brilliant! There is very little out there that I havenโt put peanut butter onโฆeggs, chicken, tuna, burgers, and I actually did recently try it on a pickle sandwich! It wasโฆdifferentโฆbut definitely delicious!
Wow! What a creative combination! Iโm definitely curious; canโt wait to try it!
I am so in love with these !! What an incredibly unique recipe โ I must try them!
Interesting idea, peanut butter. Go to my website for some incredible taco holders, ticklemytaco.com.
These tacos sound so good! I absolutely peanut butter with savory foods (especially if thereโs a little heat involved), but I wouldnโt have thought to put it on a taco. Now I must!
Iโll love you foreverโฆthis looks amazing. And I love that all of your readers are right on board with the peanut butter and beef thing! One of my favorite dinners is a peanut butter burger, and my husband and kids turn their nose up every time I have it. Wonder what theyโll think when they see these tacos on the dinner table? Lol. Actually, I secretly hope they turn their noses up againโฆhe heโฆ.there will be more for Mama!
Our local taco joint has these too (or we are talking about the same place), anyhow, the bacon and a pickles are a must! Love these tacos
This may be a silly question, but do you oil or grease your pan first before you add the meat?
I like peanut butter on steak and cheese burritos with peperonciniโs.
