Method

For the Sriracha Marinated Steak

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a large bowl, whisk together the Sriracha sauce, olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak and ensure it is fully coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1 to 2 hours.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade. Grill or sear the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

For the Spicy Slaw

  1. 3

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and carrots. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Sriracha sauce, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat. Fold in the chopped cilantro and set aside.

For the Sriracha Cream

  1. 4

    Make the Cream

    In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and Sriracha sauce until well combined. Adjust the amount of Sriracha to taste for desired spice level.

For Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Tostadas

    On each tostada shell, layer the sliced steak, followed by a generous amount of spicy slaw. Drizzle with the Sriracha cream and top with crumbled feta cheese. Garnish with fresh cilantro as desired.
