Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Beef Tacos sound absolutely delicious! Here’s a recipe to help you make them:
Ingredients:
For the Beef:
- 1 lb ground beef (or beef of your choice, like flank steak or chuck roast)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (if using ground beef)
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Sauce:
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (optional for an extra savory depth)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (optional for a slight tang)
For Tacos:
- 8 small soft corn or flour tortillas
- Shredded cheese (cheddar or a Mexican blend works great)
- Chopped fresh cilantro
- Diced onions (optional)
- Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
- Avocado or sour cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
- Cook the Beef:
- If using ground beef, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- If you’re using steak or another cut of beef, cook it to your preferred doneness (grill, pan-sear, or slow-cook) and then slice it thinly.
- Make the Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Sauce:
- In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the honey, BBQ sauce, soy sauce (if using), and apple cider vinegar. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Combine the Beef and Sauce:
- Pour the garlic butter honey BBQ sauce over the cooked beef (whether it’s ground or sliced). Stir to coat the beef evenly in the sauce. Let it cook together for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Assemble the Tacos:
- Warm your tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
- Spoon the beef mixture onto each tortilla.
- Top with shredded cheese, cilantro, diced onions, and any other toppings you like.
- Serve:
- Squeeze a bit of lime juice over the tacos (if desired), and serve immediately with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.
These tacos are packed with savory, sweet, and smoky flavors that are bound to be a hit! Enjoy!
