Preparation

Baking Directions:

1.

To marinate the steak: In a large baking dish, whisk the cilantro, brown sugar, canola oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, jalapeños, black pepper, and coriander to blend well.

Reserve 1/4 cup of the mixture in a small bowl for serving.

Place the steak in the remaining marinade and turn to coat.

Marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day, turning occasionally.

Cover and refrigerate the reserved marinade.

2.

Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high cooking over direct heat.

3.

Remove the steak from the marinade (discard the marinade) and grill, turn- ing halfway through cooking, for a total of about 10 minutes, until the meat feels only slightly resilient when pressed with a fingertip for medium-rare (see Kitchen Note, page 140).

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.

4.

Meanwhile, Prepare the tacos: In a large bowl, toss the cabbage, carrots, scal- lions, and cilantro together.

5.

Heat the tortillas on the grill, turning occasionally, for about 1 minute, or until hot.

Transfer to a serving bowl and cover to keep warm.

6.

Cut the steak across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices.

Transfer the steak slices and any carving juices to a platter.

Serve the steak with the reserved marinade, tortillas, cabbage mixture, and guacamole.

Let each guest fill two tortillas with some steak and cabbage mixture and top with some of the marinade and guacamole.
