Ingredients
- For the Steak:
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- 2 tsp chili garlic sauce
- Freshly ground pepper (to taste)
- 1 ½ to 2 pounds flank steak
- For the Slaw:
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 ½ tsp minced fresh ginger
- 1 ½ tsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
- 5 cups coleslaw mix
- ¼ cup sliced green onions
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
- For the Tacos:
- Oil for the pan
- 12 (6-inch) flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak Marinade: In a large ziplock bag, combine the sugar, ginger, garlic, fish sauce, chili garlic sauce, and freshly ground pepper. Add the flank steak to the marinade, seal the bag, and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours.
- Make the Slaw: In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, rice vinegar, minced garlic, sugar, ginger, fish sauce, and chili garlic sauce. Add the coleslaw mix, green onions, and cilantro. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Cook the Steak: Remove the steak from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a thin layer of oil to the pan. Add the flank steak (discarding any remaining marinade) to the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until the steak reaches your desired doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
- Assemble the Tacos: Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Divide the sliced steak between the tortillas and top with a generous amount of cilantro lime slaw.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the steak for up to 24 hours for the best result.
- Adjust the heat level by adding more chili garlic sauce to the slaw or marinade.
- If you want a low-carb option, swap flour tortillas for lettuce wraps.
