Persian Lime Carne Asada with Coconut-Lime Slaw

Persian Lime Carne Asada with Coconut-Lime Slaw

Citrus, smoke, and a cool, creamy crunch — this is grilling season on a tortilla. Bright lime olive oil carries a smoky-spicy marinade deep into the steak, and a coconut-lime slaw keeps every bite crisp and refreshing.

Ingredient Spotlight. Our Persian Lime Infused Olive Oil is fragrant and true-to-fruit, brightening the marinade far more evenly than fresh zest alone. In the slaw, our Coconut White Balsamic Vinegar adds a tropical, lightly sweet lift that plays beautifully against the chile heat.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs skirt or flank steak
  • Juice and zest of 1 orange and 1 lime
  • ¼ cup Persian Lime Infused Olive Oil
  • 1 chipotle in adobo, minced · ½ Tbsp chili powder · 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • ¼ cup soy sauce · 1 tsp black pepper · ½ tsp sea salt
  • Small tortillas, warmed
  • Slaw: 1 bag slaw mix · 1 cup shredded carrots · ½ small red cabbage, thin
  • 3 Tbsp Coconut White Balsamic Vinegar · ½ cup mayo · ¼ cup crème fraîche
  • 1 tsp Dijon · ½ jalapeño, minced · 2 Tbsp cilantro · pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Whisk the citrus juice and zest, Persian Lime oil, chipotle, chili powder, garlic, soy, pepper, and salt. Marinate the steak 4 hours (no more than 8).
  2. Heat the grill to medium-high. Grill the steak over direct heat 4 minutes per side, then rest 5 minutes and slice thin against the grain.
  3. Slaw: toss the cabbage, slaw mix, and carrots with the Coconut balsamic, mayo, crème fraîche, Dijon, jalapeño, cilantro, and salt.
  4. Build tacos with steak and a spoonful of slaw, then finish with a raw drizzle of Persian Lime oil over the top.

Chef's Notes

  • Slicing thin against the grain is the difference between tender and chewy.
  • Dress the slaw within the hour so it stays crunchy.

Make It Yours

  • Char thick pineapple rings on the grill and tuck them into each taco — the Coconut balsamic makes them sing. A spoon of our Jalapeño White Balsamic Vinegar in the slaw dials up the heat.

Allergens: contains egg, soy, and dairy.

Come taste the Persian Lime oil at the shop — it's a summer essential.
