Tips

  • Let the steak come to room temperature for about 20 minutes to help it cook evenly.
  • Rest the steak for 10 minutes after grilling to allow juices to redistribute.
  • Slice the steak against the grain into bite-sized pieces.
  • Experiment with different toppings like shredded lettuce, cheese, avocado, or switch up the salsa by adding mango, pineapple, or peaches.
