Why You’ll Love Marry Me Steak Tacos
What’s the key ingredient that makes Marry Me Steak Tacos so irresistible? It’s hard to pinpoint, but whenever sun-dried tomatoes and garlic come together with sour cream, I’d say something magical happens. The mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and some bright fresh basil help too.
Combine that with my new Cowboy Butter Rub and FYR BLK Hot Sauce , and you have bold and beautiful steak pieces to build the best tacos ever. After you make this steak taco recipe, you’ll quickly see why social media followers love the combo so much.
These tacos, which we’ll crisp in a large skillet or cast iron pan, are versatile enough to suit a marriage proposal, a casual date night, or Taco Tuesday.
Keep in mind that this recipe is flexible. If you don’t want to do tacos, you could also easily do nachos. Simple drizzle the Marry Me sauce over the crispy tortilla chips smothered in that perfectly seasoned steak.

This sauce is FYR!
Born from a deep passion for food and flavor. Whether you’re grilling in the backyard or live fire cooking around the world, we have what you need to transform every meal into an adventure.
- Marry Me Sauce – Fresh sour cream and mayonnaise are blended with sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Then, red pepper flakes, parsley, and black pepper further deepen the flavors.
- Tacos – Flour or corn tortillas work for the recipe. My go-to here is shredded Jack cheese, but you can go many ways with the cheese. Grab some white onions and a bunch of parsley.
With these fresh ingredients in your shopping cart, you know that Marry Me Steak Tacos will be an epic flavor-packed experience. Keep scrolling while I walk you through the easy steps, or skip to the full recipe card at the bottom of this post.
How to Make Marry Me Steak Tacos
Start by preparing the steak. 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. Then, it’s time to dig in and see if these tacos get the ultimate “yes!”
Tips for Making the Best Steak Tacos
Don’t skip resting the steak after grilling! It locks in the juices and makes slicing easier. For an extra kick of flavor and heat, mix some garlic powder and chili powder into the cheese before crisping the tacos. You could also add in a drizzle of that FYR BLK Hot Sauce too!
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.

Absolutely! Both cuts are great options for the steak tacos if cooked to medium-rare for tenderness. If you’re short on time, some high-quality ground beef for the Marry Me Steak Tacos would also taste amazing.
Swap sour cream and mayo with plant-based alternatives for a creamy sauce without dairy.
