Grilled Steak Preparation:

  2. Add the grilling steak to the bowl and make sure it is fully coated with the marinade.
  3. Cover the bowl and let the steak marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to blend and the meat to tenderize.
  4. After marinating, remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
  5. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Once hot, cook the marinated steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking.

Bone Marrow Preparation (optional):

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Place the bone marrow pieces on a baking tray and bake for about 20-25 minutes, until golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  3. Remove the bone marrow from the oven and let it cool slightly before extracting the marrow using a spoon. Set aside the marrow for filling the tacos.

Taco Assembly:

  1. Heat the corn or flour tortillas in a hot skillet for a few seconds on each side, or until lightly golden and pliable.
  2. For each taco, place some slices of grilled steak in the center of a heated tortilla.
  3. Add a spoonful of bone marrow if using.
  4. Sprinkle with finely chopped onion and freshly chopped cilantro.
  5. Top with salsa verde or salsa roja according to your taste and squeeze some fresh lime juice over the taco.

Ingredients and Recipe Notes

  • Cool Whip: This recipe calls for Cool Whip, but you can also use homemade whipped cream for a different twist. Just keep in mind that homemade whipped cream may not be as stable as Cool Whip, so adjust the quantity accordingly.
  • Cherries: While cherry pie filling is the star of this recipe, you can get creative and try other pie fillings like apple or blueberry for a different flavor.
  • Cream Cheese: Soften the cream cheese by microwaving it in 10-second intervals until it feels soft and creamy.
  • Crust: The graham cracker crust can be easily substituted with other cookies like Oreos or Nilla Wafers for a unique twist.

How To Make Cherry Delight

  1. Mix the crust ingredients and press them into a baking dish. Bake until golden.
  2. Cream the cream cheese and sour cream together. Add confectioner’s sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth.
