Make

Heat up a grill pan over high heat. Brush with some cooking oil. Once pan is super hot, place steak onto pan and sear on both sides for ~3 minutes. Remove from pan, cover with foil and let rest. For a more well-done steak, turn down heat and cook for a few more minutes.
Heat up tortillas according to package instructions.
Slice steak into bite sized pieces.
Dress oranges, shallots, and spinach with remainder of the Asian vinaigrette.
Have everyone assemble their own tacos with steak, chimichurri sauce, and tomatoes. Enjoy with salad on the side.
