Directions
Make the steak.
- Preheat the oven to 275°F.
- Pat the ribeye dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Place the ribeye on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15 minutes. While the steak is in the oven, heat the avocado oil in a frying or cast iron pan over medium heat.
- Remove the steak from the oven and sear on the pan for 1 minute on each side to form a nice crust.
- Take the steak off the pan and let rest for 10 minutes.
Make the slaw.
- Use a peeler or mandoline to shred the cabbage. If you have extra bits you can't get to with a peeler, chop it into small pieces.
- Add the cabbage to a large bowl. Rinse and chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl.
- Whisk together all the dressing ingredients except the honey.
- Pour in the honey gradually as you combine all the other ingredients so it gets evenly mixed.
- Coat the slaw in dressing and let sit for at least 5 minutes.
Make the tortillas.
- Combine the flour, salt, and avocado oil in a bowl.
- Stir in ⅔-1 cup water, at room temperature, until it reaches a dough-like consistency.
- Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead about 10 times, until no flour streaks remain and the dough is springy.
- Divide the dough into 16 balls. Cover the dough balls with a damp towel to prevent them from becoming dry.
- Heat a stainless steel pan over medium-high heat.
- Working with one dough ball at a time, roll it out until it’s an 8-10” round.
- Place the dough on the hot pan and cook for 1 minute per side, until golden brown circles form but it’s still pliable.
- Repeat for each ball of dough. As you finish, wrap the cooked tortillas in a dry towel to stay warm.
- To make the tacos, slice the ribeye and pile the steak and cilantro slaw on the tortillas. Top with avocado slices.
