  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon Hungarian paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 pound skirt steak, trimmed

For the slaw:

  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
  • 2 medium carrots, shredded
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt

For the tacos:

  • 8 flour tortillas, warmed

Instructions

For the rub:

  1. In a small bowl combine the cumin, chili powder, brown sugar, salt, paprika, and cloves.

To cook the steak:

  2. Once hot, add the steak and cook the steak for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until desired degree of doneness.

To make the tacos:

Recipe Notes

ALTERNATE COOKING INFORMATION:

You can prepare this steak in a grill pan, as well. Cook for the same amount of time (adjusting for desired level of doneness) and be sure to coat the pan lightly with vegetable oil before cooking.
