Ingredients
- 2 × 300g scotch fillet steaks, fat trimmed
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tsp honey
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp chilli powder (optional)
- 2 tsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 2 mangoes, firm but ripe
- 125g cherry tomatoes
- ½ small red onion
- ½ cup coriander leaves
- ½ jalapeño (optional)
- 1-2 limes
- 2 × 200g bags cabbage and carrot coleslaw mix
- Olive oil and vinegar, to dress
- Small tortillas
Method
- Combine the marinade ingredients (pineapple juice through to olive oil) with ¼ teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Add the steaks and turn to coat well. Set aside to marinate.
- Roughly dice the mango, tomatoes and coriander leaves. Finely dice the jalapeño and red onion. Combine the salsa ingredients in a bowl, squeeze over lime juice to taste and season with a pinch of salt.
- Preheat the BBQ or a heavy-based pan to medium-high heat. Drain the marinade from the steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil and allow to rest.
- Thinly slice the steak. Lightly dress the cabbage and carrot slaw with olive oil and vinegar. Warm the tortillas in a dry pan. Assemble the tacos by topping the tortillas with sliced steak, mango salsa and tangy slaw.
- Scotch fillet can be replaced with rump steak, if preferred.
- Tortillas can be chargrilled or warmed in a hot, dry pan until heated through and lightly crisp.
