Sprinkle the flank steak with 2 teaspoons of chili powder and 3/4 teaspoon of kosher salt.
Heat 1/2 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the steak to the hot skillet.

In a bowl, toss the shredded red cabbage with the fresh lime juice, mayonnaise, remaining chili powder, and salt to taste.
