  • 1 tsp. cumin

2 Grill Prep

Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets

Method: Direct-Heat Grilling

Temp: 450°F (High Heat)

3 The 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.
