Instructions

Marinate the steak in coconut aminos, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, sugar and sriracha for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
1 pound flank, sirloin or skirt steak, ¼ cup coconut aminos or soy sauce, 2 garlic cloves, ½ tablespoon ginger, ½ tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon sriracha
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Next, add the steak and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5-10 minutes.
1 tablespoon olive oil
Meanwhile, add the coleslaw ingredients to a large bowl and toss to combine.
2-3 cups coleslaw mix, 1 tablespoon sriracha, ½ lime, 2 tablespoons coconut aminos or soy sauce
Heat the tortillas, preferably over an open flame for approximately 30 seconds per side. Then assemble the tacos by placing steak on a tortilla and topping it with the slaw mix, avocado, cilantro and lime juice.
Corn or flour tortillas, 1-2 avocados, Lime wedges, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Notes

Be sure not to overcook the beef!
Rice vinegar- you can substitute rice vinegar with white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or lemon juice. These substitutions will change the flavor profile slightly, but the tacos will still be great.
I recommend a red cabbage slaw or tri-color coleslaw mix, but a classic mix will do.
Adjust the amount of sriracha depending on how much you like spice. You can also add red pepper flakes for an extra kick!
