Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash and dry produce. Trim and thinly slice cucumber. Halve lime. In a small bowl, combine cucumber, juice from lime halves and a pinch of salt. Set aside to marinate. Roughly chop peanuts.
- In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise and chili sauce. Add coleslaw mix and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pat diced steak dry with paper towels. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over high heat. Add steak and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, then pour in sweet soy glaze. Cook until glaze has thickened, 1-2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat.
- While steak cooks, wrap tortillas in damp paper towels. Microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds. Divide tortillas between plates and fill with steak, slaw, marinated cucumber (draining excess liquid) and peanuts. Serve.
Recipe Tips
For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the steak while cooking.
If you prefer corn tortillas, feel free to substitute them; warm them similarly.
The pickled cucumber can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
