Steps:
- For the steak: Marinate the flank steak in the tiger sauce, lime juice, orange juice and garlic. Grill for 5 minutes per side. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin slices.
- For the halibut: Combine the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, jalapeno and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Add the halibut, turning to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator. Grill for 3 to 6 minutes per side, depending on thickness -- the halibut will flake when done. Cut into small pieces.
- For the tomatillo-avocado salsa: In a blender, combine the tomatillos, jalapenos, avocado, onion, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, agave and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Blend until completely smooth. Set aside.
- For the jalapeno-lime slaw: Add the cabbage, cilantro and jalapenos to a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder and some salt and pepper. Toss the cabbage with dressing to taste.
- To serve: Begin plating with a corn tortilla. Add a little less than 1/4 cup of slaw, top with a few pieces of halibut, a tablespoon or so of the salsa and a few slices of steak. Finish with crumbled feta, sliced radishes, if using, and a lime wedge.
GRILLED STEAK TACOS WITH CHERRY TOMATO-AVOCADO SALSA
In this supremely summery taco recipe, chile-rubbed grilled steak is topped with a spicy tomato-avocado salsa before being rolled into warm corn tortillas. Grilling the onions, garlic and jalapeño for the salsa adds a concentrated sweetness, while lime zest keeps everything sharp and bright. If you don't have access to a grill, feel free to use your broiler.

Steps:
- Prepare the steak: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, chile powder, coriander, cumin, garlic and lime zest. Rub mixture all over the steaks, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
- Prepare the salsa: Light the grill or heat to medium-high (or heat the broiler). Grill onion, garlic and 1 jalapeño until tender and charred on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes (or place on a broiler pan and broil). Remove from heat until cool enough to handle, then roughly chop onions, peel garlic and remove seeds and stem from jalapeño.
- Transfer grilled onion, garlic and jalapeño to a blender or mini food processor. Halve the fresh jalapeño and seed it, if desired, then add it to the blender. Process to a chunky paste. Scrape into a serving bowl and toss with tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, lime juice and salt.
- Add more charcoal to the grill, if needed, and grill the steaks until done to taste, about 2 minutes per side for rare (or broil). Let meat rest on a cutting board covered with foil for at least 7 minutes. Meanwhile, grill or broil the tortillas until warm.
- To serve, slice the meat across the grain, and serve with the warm tortillas, radishes, lime wedges, salsa and crema. Let people assemble their own tacos at the table.

STEAK TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE SLAW & AVOCADO SALSA (DAVID VENABLE) RECIPE - (4.5/5)
Provided by davidv
Number Of Ingredients 29
Steps:
- To prepare the steak, first make a marinade with the garlic, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, jalapeño, and chili powder. Combine the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely minced. Place the flank steak in a large zip-top plastic bag, pour in the marinade, and squeeze out any excess air before sealing. Allow the steak to marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours; do not exceed 8 hours. To prepare the slaw, combine the sour cream, milk, chipotle pepper, and vinegar in a large bowl and whisk until combined. Add the cabbage and stir until it's completely coated with dressing. To prepare the salsa, combine all the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl; toss until combined. (If kept refrigerated, this can be made up to 2 hours prior to serving.) To make the tacos, preheat the grill and set the temperature to medium-high. Grill the steak for 8 minutes on each side, or until your desired degree of doneness. Let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting, diagonally across the grain, into thin slices. Place 4-5 slices of steak in a taco shell, top with approximately a quarter cup of salsa and the same amount of slaw. Fold up the shell and enjoy!

GRILLED STEAK TACOS WITH AVOCADO SALSA
Some of my friends got together and decided to cook me a special meal before the end of tax season. So they would check out my mail, for my magazines and then they would replace them a day or two later and I was none the wiser. The dietician, Allison, was the chief conspirator and they were able to pull it off! She loves Mexican food and has been teaching me all about it. They made me these at about 2:30 yesterday afternoon and were they delicious. :) We had a ball! There were just a few of us and then about 5pm I went back to work! They then gave me a copy and asked me to check here on zaar and if it wasn't would I post it & voilá!! The recipe is From: Hotel Cooking Schools in F&W Magazine, May 2009 edition.Chef Gonzalo Martinez grills the chorizo, the cheese and even the chiles in the salsa (and it does make a difference!). His Chef tip is to thinly slice the flank steak across the grain to keep it tender.(Yummy) ;)

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use skirt steak or flank steak for your tacos. These cuts of meat are flavorful and tender when cooked properly.
- Make sure to marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Cook the steak over high heat for a short period of time. This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside juicy.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.
- Serve the tacos with your favorite toppings, such as avocado salsa, sour cream, cheese, and cilantro.
