Creating Steak Tacos with Chipotle Sauce & Roasted Cabbage Slaw is an easy process. Follow these steps to ensure perfect results:
1. Marinate the Steak: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture onto the flank steak and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Chipotle Sauce: In another bowl, combine mayonnaise, chipotle in adobo sauce, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside.
3. Roast the Cabbage Slaw: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the shredded cabbage and carrots on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast for about 15-20 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized. Toss in chopped cilantro after roasting.
4. Cook the Steak: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the flank steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time for your preferred doneness.
5. Rest the Steak: Once cooked, remove the steak from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more tender bite.
6. Warm the Tortillas: While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or in the oven for a few minutes until pliable.
7. Slice the Steak: After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
8. Assemble the Tacos: Place tortilla on a plate, add sliced steak, and top with roasted cabbage slaw. Drizzle with chipotle sauce to finish.
9. Serve Immediately: Serve the tacos warm, allowing everyone to adjust seasoning and toppings as they prefer.
