Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Steak:

Marinate the steak in a mixture of tiger sauce, lime juice, orange juice, and garlic. Grill for 5 minutes on each side. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes, then slice thinly across the grain.

Tiger sauce:
Tiger sauce is an exotic, moderately spicy sauce with cayenne pepper. With hints of sweet and sour, fishy and caramel flavors, it's ideal for meat, seafood, and poultry.
Halibut:

In a bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, garlic, jalapeño, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Add the halibut, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate to marinate. Grill the fish for 3-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the pieces. The halibut should be flaky when done. Cut into small pieces.

Tomatillo and Avocado Salsa:

In a blender, combine tomatillos, jalapeños, avocado, onion, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, agave, and 1 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
Jalapeño Lime Coleslaw:

Place the cabbage, cilantro, and jalapeño in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Toss the salad with the dressing.
Innings:

Line a tortilla with a little less than 1/4 cup of lettuce, top with a few pieces of halibut, about 1 tablespoon of salsa, and a few slices of steak. Sprinkle with shredded feta, sliced radish, if using, and a lime wedge.
