RestOfNewsletter

aaaDrewKitchButtonSummer’s still hanging on (thankfully!) so Drew’s keeping you out on the grill for another month.  Of course, with Drew, that’s never a dull place to be…

Ingredients: 

  • 1 flank steak (about 1 lb)
  • 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 tsp each kosher salt and pepper, divided
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled, quartered, and thickly sliced crosswise
  • ½ jalapeno chile, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 12 corn tortillas (6” dia)

Preparation:

  • Heat a grill to high (450° to 550°). Brush steak with 1 tbsp oil, ½ tsp each salt and pepper, and the smoked paprika.  Grill steak, covered, turning once, 6 to 8 minutes total for medium-rare (cut to test).  Lift to a cutting board and loosely cover with foil.  (keep grill on).
  • While steak rests, toss avocados, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, remaining 2 tbsp oil, and remaining ½ tsp each salt and pepper in a large bowl.
  • Thinly slice steak against the grain. Quickly grill tortillas a few seconds on each side to warm them.  Serve steak with salad and tortillas.
  • Serves 6; 25 minutes prep
