Ingredients

1/2 onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon anise seed 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon dried sage 1/4 teaspoon ground thyme 2 bay leaves 5 whole cloves 1/2 cup soy sauce 1 cup cider vinegar 1 orange, juiced 1 lime, juiced 2 pounds flank steak 1 onion, chopped 2 tomatoes, chopped 1/4 (7 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, or to taste 3 cloves garlic 1 tablespoon water, or as needed 24 (5 inch) corn tortillas 1/2 onion, chopped 1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped 1 bunch radishes, halved

Instructions

Place 1/2 chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic, parsley, oregano, paprika, anise seed, black pepper, cumin, sage, thyme, bay leaves, cloves, soy sauce, vinegar, orange juice, and lime juice in a blender; pulse until a very well-blended paste is achieved, scraping down sides as needed, 3 to 5 minutes. Spread paste on both sides of the flank steak. Wrap steak in plastic and refrigerate at least 6 hours to overnight. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove excess marinade from flank steak. Grill steak until it begins to firm and is hot and slightly pink in the center, about 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Chop steak into small pieces and transfer to a platter; cover and keep warm until ready to serve. Place 1 chopped onion, tomatoes, chipotle peppers, and 3 cloves garlic in a blend; pulse until desired consistency. Add water if the salsa becomes too thick. Transfer salsa to a bowl. Heat tortillas in a microwave safe plate until warm, about 1 minute. Serve beef over stacks of two corn tortillas with salsa and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 chopped onion, radishes, and cilantro.
