2 Grill Prep
Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets
Method: Direct-Heat Grilling
Temp: 450°F (High Heat)
Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:
• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds
Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.
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.
3 The Cook

- 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.
** Cooking times are approximate and based on a 1” steak, including sear time.
