Instructions
 

To Make the CabbageSlaw

  • Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well and set aside.

To Make the Beef Tacos

  • Heat up 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat until shimmering, about 1-2minutes.
  • Season the steak with salt and black pepper on both sides. Add to the hot skillet to sear 2-3 minutes on each side, until crisp and browned.
  • Remove from heat to rest 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
  • Add the minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, remaining olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, chili crisp oil, and sesame seeds into the same skillet. Bring to a boil and let cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened.
  • Add the sliced steak back into the skillet with the sauce and toss to finish cooking to desired doneness, about 2-3 minutes.

To Serve

  • Layer the warmed tortillas with the sticky beef, cabbage slaw, and (optional) avocado.
  • Enjoy with Vita Ice Strawberry Lemonade for a complimentary refreshment!
