3The Cook
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Place the steak and the vegetables on the grill.
Cook the steak, flipping once, for about 7–10 minutes total, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
When the steak has reached preferred doneness, let it rest for a least 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
Let the vegetables cook until charred and softened, flipping as needed, about 10–12 minutes.
Remove the vegetables from the grill and chop them into slices.
Serve the vegetables and the steak with warm tortillas and optional garnishes as desired.
