Start by discussing the types of beef steak used for street tacos, mentioning Chuck and sirloin.

Prepare diced onions, cutting them finely for the tacos.

Saute the diced onions in oil until they are soft and translucent, then set them aside.

Trim excess fat off the beef steak before cooking.

Heat the made-in griddle and add oil to it.

Place the beef steak on the griddle and season it with your choice of seasoning.

Use a grill press to flatten the steak while it cooks to ensure even cooking and to achieve a nice sear.

Flip the steak to cook both sides until charred but not burnt, then remove it from the griddle.

Chop the cooked steak into small pieces suitable for tacos.

Warm the yellow corn tortillas on the griddle with a little oil to soften them without overcooking.

Assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of chopped steak into each tortilla.

Top the tacos with the sautéed onions, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Add red or green salsa to taste and serve immediately.
