Place dried chilies on a plate and microwave for 10-20 seconds. Add to a blender jar. Add the rest of the marinade ingredients and blend until smooth, adding a little water if needed. It should be thick, but spoonable.
Season with salt and pepper. Place half of the marinade in a container and cover and place in the fridge. Season the other half with additional salt and cover the steak with it. Seal in a plastic bag and marinate it overnight.
Heat your grill and place steak on the hottest spot. Turn a few times to get good and charred all over and cook until the center is 120. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes, then slice against the grain and chop. Serve in tortillas with salsa.
If using sous vide, sous vide at 135 for 2 hours, then slice and chop and pan sear with some of the marinade until caramelized.
