Drop in flank steak, seal and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Fire up your grill to medium-high heat or preheat the broiler. Debag the steak and grill with the lid down or broil 4 inches from the heat for 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare (145ºF on an instant-read thermometer). Let rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes then slice crosswise against the grain into thin slices. Toss coleslaw mix, water chestnuts, remaining 1/4 cup dressing and 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a bowl. Boil the remaining marinade over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, pouring in any juices from the steak. Put the slaw on a big plate or platter and arrange the steak slices over top. Drizzle with the sauce and scatter the oranges around the steak. Extra Credit: Scatter some sliced almonds over the top.
