Instructions
For Marinade:
In a bowl combine the hoisin sauce, orange zest, fresh shredded ginger, sesame oil and red pepper flakes.
Add steak and marinate for 20 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
For Steaks:
Oil the grill or grill pan. Preheat grill or grill pan. Remove the steak from the marinade. Mix together crushed pistachios and herbs in a flat pan. Carefully dredge steak in crushed pistachios. Place on grill. Grill 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Let stand 3-5 minutes before carving.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic, and stir until they give off their fragrance, about 15 seconds. Add the broccoli slaw and stir-fry until heated through, about 3 minutes.
Holding a sharp knife at a 45 degree angle and cutting across the grain, thinly slice the steak. Heap the vegetables on a platter and top with the sliced steak.
