5 from 1 reviews

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 flank steak
  • For the marinade:
  • 4 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 3 crushed cloves of garlic
  • For the tacos:
  • 4 cups cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 6 carrots, grated (about 1 cup)
  • One bunch scallions, thinly sliced
  • For the yogurt sauce:
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. To marinade the flank steak, first slice shallow diagonal lines about 2 inches apart across both sides of the steak so the marinade can sink in further
  2. Sprinkle the salt, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder equally over both sides of the steak and rub everything in
  3. In a bowl, whisk together lime juice and honey
  4. Place the flank steak in a large zip lock bag and pour in the lime mixture. Add your crushed garlic
  5. Close the bag and massage the marinade into the meat for about 10 seconds
  6. Place in the fridge to marinade for 4 hours (or longer if you desire)
  7. Heat a grill pan over medium to medium high heat with coconut oil (canola or vegetable can be substituted)
  8. Grill the flank steak on both sides until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees – it will continue cooking once you remove it from the heat and it is important not to overcook flank steak or it will be tough!
  9. Let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes
  10. Meanwhile, slice your cabbage, scallions, and cilantro. Grate your carrots. Set aside
  11. Make your yogurt sauce by whisking the yogurt, honey, lime juice, cilantro and salt together in a bowl
  12. To assemble, place some cabbage and carrots into each tortilla, followed by a few slices of flank steak, the yogurt sauce, and top it off with some green onions
