Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil (30 ml), plus more for the baking sheet
  • 2 tsp (10 ml). chipotle chile powder
  • 2 tsp (10 ml). honey
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • Grated zest and juice of 2 limes (about 60 ml), plus wedges for serving
  • 1 1/2 tsp (8 ml). kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp (3 ml). black pepper
  • 1 1/2 lb. (680 g) beef steak (in one piece)
  • 1/3 c. (80 ml) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 c. (60 ml) fresh dill
  • 4 scallions, roughly chopped
  • 1 (10-ounce) bag of shredded slaw mix
  • 12 fajita-sized flour tortillas, warmed
  • Sliced avocado and thinly sliced radishes, for topping


Instructions

  1. Set your oven to heat up to 425˚F. Coat a baking sheet with vegetable oil. In a small bowl, mix together the chipotle chile powder, honey, grated garlic, the zest and juice from one lime, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  2. Lay the beef steak on the oiled baking sheet and coat both sides generously with the chipotle mixture.
  3. Roast the beef in the oven until the thickest part easily shreds with a fork and the inside is no longer pink, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  4. While the beef is cooking, blend together the Greek yogurt, fresh dill, scallions, the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  5. Mix the shredded slaw with the yogurt blend in a large bowl, ensuring it’s well-coated.
  6. To assemble the tacos, break the beef into large chunks. Place a few pieces of beef and a portion of the slaw onto each warmed tortilla, then add avocado slices and radish slices on top. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

  • Enhance the slaw’s tanginess by adding lime juice to the yogurt blend before mixing with the shredded slaw mix.
  • Marinate the beef in the chipotle mixture for at least 30 minutes before roasting to intensify its flavor.
  • Add extra spiciness by sprinkling a bit more chipotle chile powder on the beef before serving.
