Add all carne Asada marinade ingredients to a bowl and mix together. Place steak in bowl, cover and marinade for at least 3 hours.
For the pickled red onion, add red onion, sugar, apple cider vinegar, hot water, salt and whole peppercorns to an airtight container. Shake up until sugar has dissolved, then leave to pickle for at least one hour.
For the salsa, add tomatoes, jalapeños and garlic to a baking tray. Then drizzle with olive oil and salt, shake everything up then broil (grill) until veg has charred. This should take 5-10 mins. Once charred, transfer to a food processor along with coriander and apple cider vinegar, then blitz until incorporated.
Bring steak to room temp. Heat a cast iron pan to very hot, add a little cooking oil or butter, then add to steak to pan. Cook until medium rare (roughly 3-4 mins each side), then remove from pan and leave to rest for 2 mins before slicing into small bite sized pieces.
Time to build your tacos, toast your tortilla, then add lettuce, salsa, steak, feta, pickled red onions, soured cream, coriander and a squeeze of lime then enjoy!
