Recipe for Game Day Ibérico Flank Steak Tacos with Chipotle Orange Slaw
Ingredients
- 2 packs of Campo Grande Ibérico Flank Steak
- 12 corn or flour tortillas
- 6 oz queso fresco, crumbled
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to season de meat
Cabbage slaw
- 1 pound purple cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 large red onion, cut into ½-inch wedges
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 fresh red chili, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
Chipotle Orange Sauce
- 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
- ½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- ½ can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Preparation
- Remove the Ibérico flank steaks from the refrigerator 1h before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature. Preheat the grill to 425°F. Spread the sliced cabbage and red onion onto a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, and toss well. Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
- While the vegetables roast, prepare the chipotle orange sauce. Combine the Mayonnaise, orange juice, orange zest, chipotle peppers with their adobo sauce, honey, olive oil, and salt in a food processor. Blend until completely smooth and set aside.
- Allow the roasted vegetables to cool slightly, then transfer them to a large bowl. Add the sliced green onions, fresh chili, and 3 tablspoons of the chipotle orange sauce. Toss until evenly coated.
- Season the Ibérico flank steaks generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook the flank steaks for 2-3 minutes per side. Slice the meat against the grain into thin slices, then cut it into small bite-sized pieces. Transfer all of the meat to a skillet and cook for another 1–2 minutes until nicely crisp and caramelized on the outside.
- Char the tortillas directly in the same skillet used to cook the meat to take advantage of all the flavorful juices, for about 20–30 seconds per side.
- To assemble, layer the roasted cabbage slaw onto each tortilla, top with slices of Ibérico flank steak, drizzle with extra chipotle orange sauce, and finish with crumbled queso fresco.
