Ingredients
  

  • 1 recipe Green and Garlicky Chimichurri Sauce (recipe link below)
  • 1 recipe Creamy Buttermilk Coleslaw (recipe link below)
  • 1 kg flank steak (2 lbs)
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (stemmed and chopped)
  • 1/4 cup crème fraîche
  • 1 tsp chipotle oil (e.g. Huipi Chil Salsa Mango Chipotle)
  • 8-12 corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (canola or other)

Instructions
 

  • Place the flank steak in a ziplock bag with 3/4 of the chimichurri sauce, reserving 1/4 of the sauce, set aside. Ensure the steak is fully covered with the sauce, release any air from the bag, seal, and marinate in a refrigerator for minimum 1 hours, or overnight.
  • Remove from the bag, and dispose of the bag and any leftover sauce. Barbecue the flank steak at medium-high heat until desired level of doneness. Remove from the heat and set aside for 10-15 minutes.
  • Mix the crème fraîche with the chipotle oil until evenly mixed, set aside.
  • Heat the canola oil at medium-high heat in a shallow pan until hot. Add the tortillas, one at a time, turning after 10-30 seconds on each side, and place to the side on a towel.
  • Cut the flank steak across the grain into strips
  • Serve all items, and assemble tacos, with steak, Coleslaw, chimichurri sauce, chipotle sauce, and fresh cilantro.
