For these steak tacos, I decided to use skirt steak. You can use flank steak or hanger steak if you want too, but I like skirt steak for many reasons. It's also the cut of meat most often used in steak fajitas. Skirt steak has a more beefy and intense meat flavor versus flank steak and it's a thinner cut of meat, so it cooks faster. To marinate the steak: In a large baking dish, whisk the cilantro, brown sugar, canola oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, jalapeños, black pepper, and coriander to blend well.
