Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make the marinade by combining the cilantro, brown sugar, canola oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, jalapeño, black pepper, and coriander in a large zip-lock bag. Mix until well combined, add the flank steak, seal, and refrigerate for 24-48 hours.
  2. Prepare the pickled onions several hours before serving tacos. Combine the sliced red onions, vinegar, water, and sugar in a dish. Stir until well combined, then seal with a lid or saran wrap. Stir every once in a while.
  3. Combine the slaw with the cilantro just before cooking the steak.
  4. Remove the flank steak from the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking.
  5. Cook the flank steak by heating a grill pan over medium-high heat and coating it with cooking spray.
  6. Add the flank steak to the HOT grill pan and cook 4-5 minutes, then flip and continue cooking for 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or until you have reached your desired degree of doneness.
  7. Remove from the grill pan and place on a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain, then into bite-sized pieces.
  8. Heat the flour tortillas over an open flame on your gas stove for 10-15 seconds on each side until pliable, or in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
  9. Prepare the tacos by placing the chopped steak down the center of the flour tortilla, then add some of the slaw mixture, and top with pickled onions.
  10. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
