Rub the steaks with FYR BLK Hot Sauce, then generously coat them with Cowboy Butter Rub. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400F, and grill the steaks for 3–4 minutes per side until they reach 120F internal for medium rare. Let the steaks rest on a cutting board before slicing them into bite-sized cubes. While the steak rests, let’s make the Marry Me Sauce in a blender (or large bowl with an immersion stick). Combine sour cream, mayo, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, Parmesan cheese, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Add chili flakes, garlic cloves, parsley, and black pepper. Blend until the sauce is roughly chopped but still textured for that perfect balance of creamy and flavorful. Now, heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat to prepare the tacos. Place a tortilla in the pan and warm one side. Flip it over, sprinkle shredded cheese on top, then add steak cubes, a drizzle of the Marry Me Sauce, diced onions, and parsley. Fold the tortilla in half and let it crisp up, cooking until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown. Repeat with the remaining tortillas until all your tacos are ready.

What to Serve with Marry Me Steak Tacos Marry Me Steak Tacos pair beautifully with corn salsa, lime wedges, or a sprinkle of Cotija cheese. To round out the meal, consider tortilla chips, beef enchiladas, or a fresh cilantro salad. If you’re hosting, shrimp tacos or tender chicken dishes are great options for completing your Tuesday Taco Night menu. Leftovers & Reheating Instructions For the best results, store each component separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to three days. Keep the steak, Marry Me Sauce, and tortillas apart to maintain their texture and flavor. When you’re ready to reheat, fire up your grill and place a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of vegetable oil or olive oil to the skillet, then reheat the steak cubes, tossing occasionally until warmed through and tender. To crisp up the tortillas, warm them directly in the skillet for a few minutes until they’re golden and pliable. Assemble the tacos fresh for that just-made perfection.
