Instructions
For Steak & Marinade:
- Step 1) In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of Mazola® Corn Oil, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin and oregano.
- Step 2) Remove steak from freezer and slice thinly, across the grain. Place in the bowl with the marinade.
- Step 3) Stir to cover steak slices with the marinade. Marinate for at least 45 minutes and up to 2 hours.
- Step 4) Heat 2 tablespoons of Mazola® Corn Oil in a large skillet over high heat. Remove steak from marinade; set marinade aside.
- Step 5) Add steak to the hot oil and sear on both sides for about 1 minute. Immediately reduce heat to medium high.
- Step 6) Add the reserved marinade and cook, stirring often, until marinade has reduced to half, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Step 7) To assemble, divide steak among warmed tortillas. Top with a generous spoonful of coleslaw (recipe below), a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, cotija cheese and pickled jalapeño. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
For Slaw:
- Combine shredded cabbage, mayonnaise, lime juice, mango, jalapeño and spices in a bowl. Toss to combine.
- Season with additional lime and/or salt and pepper, if necessary.
