Follow Amanda and Merill's instructions to sear a flank steak - or sear it on a nice hot grill. When the steak is cooked, baste it with the sauce and let it rest for five to ten minutes. In the mean time grill the pineapple slices and chop into bite sized pieces, and chop the cabbage. Heat the corn tortillas in a pan, or in the microwave in a towel for about 15 seconds, until pliable.
Ask a question about this stepWhen the steak has rested, slice it as thin as possible. Pile a few slices on a corn tortilla, top with pineapple, cabbage, and garnishes. Pour a margarita and chow down!
