Instructions
- Whisk the marinade ingredients together. Pour half into a shallow dish, add the steak and marinate for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. Keep the other half of the marinade in the fridge for later.
- Take the steak out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking.
- Heat about 1 teaspoon of oil in a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness. Rest it for 5 minutes.
- Alternatively, heat the grill on high. Take the steak out of the marinade and grill 5-7 minutes per side, until done to your liking. Rest on a plate for 5-10 minutes.
- For the vegetables, wipe the pan with paper towel, add another teaspoon of oil and fry the pepper and onion strips. Add half of the reserved marinade, salt and pepper, and cook until done.
- Slice the steak thinly across the grain. Fill warmed tortillas with the steak, extra coriander, sour cream if using and sliced avocado, then drizzle with the remaining marinade.
