2 Grill Prep

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best way to do it We did this just a few weeks back on our flattop grill, I would love to try this on our kettle as it brings diffrent depths to the meat! Don’t forget to add street corn to your list of sides!
