Preparation

1. To make the steak, whisk together the vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, sugar and pepper flakes. Place the steak in a large plastic bag or in a shallow, nonreactive pan. Pour the marinade over the steak and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 36 hours.
2. To make the slaw, whisk together in a large bowl the peanut oil, shallot, chilies, lime juice, sesame oil and salt. Add the cabbage, carrots and scallions to the bowl. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
3. When ready to cook, prepare a charcoal or gas grill or preheat the broiler. Grill or broil the steak, turning once, until it reaches the desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Allow to rest 10 minutes. Meanwhile, toss the slaw with the basil and place a mound of slaw on each of 4 plates. Slice the steak thinly on the bias, drape over the slaw and serve.
