Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried ancho chile powder
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
• kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 1 1/4 lbs flank steaks
• 1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
• 1 -2 medium jalapeno, stemmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, more as needed
• 8 corn tortillas
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• lime wedge, for serving

Recipe

• 1 prepare a medium (375°f) gas or charcoal grill fire.
• 2 meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the ancho powder with 1 teaspoons of the sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoons pepper. pat the steak dry, sprinkle the ancho mixture on both sides, and let sit at room temperature while the grill heats.
• 3 set the onion rounds and jalapenos on a large plate and sprinkle with 1 tbs. of the oil, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper.
• 4 in a large bowl, toss the cabbage with the lime juice, the remaining 1 teaspoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoons salt. add the remaining 1 tbs. oil and toss again.
• 5 put the steak, onions, and jalapenos on the grill. grill the steak, flipping once, until cooked to your liking, 5 to 6 minutes for medium rare (130°f to 135°f). grill the vegetables, flipping once, until grill marks appear and they’re just tender, 4 to 6 minutes for the jalapenos and about 8 minutes for the onion. (move the onions to a cooler part of the grill or lower the heat if they start to burn.) transfer the steak and vegetables to a cutting board; let the steak rest for 5 minutes.
• 6 chop the onions and finely chop the jalapenos, add to the cabbage mixture, and toss well. season to taste with salt, pepper, and lime juice.
• 7 spread 4 tortillas on the grill and heat, flipping once, until warm and softened, about 1 minute. stack the warmed tortillas in a kitchen towel; repeat with the remaining tortillas.
• 8 thinly slice the steak and put a few slices on each of the warm tortillas. top with the slaw and a dollop of sour cream. serve with the lime wedges.
