Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Juice of half lime
Juice of half orange
Kosher salt
8 ounces cleaned and trimmed skirt steak
Olive oil, for oiling the grill grates
Four 10-inch (burrito size) flour tortillas
2 cups shredded pepper-jack cheese
1 to 2 chipotle in adobo, chopped, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons sauce
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Guacamole, salsa, chopped scallions and sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill over medium.
  • Whisk the garlic, cumin, lime and oranges juices and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Add the steak, coat well in the mixture and let marinade for 10 minutes.
  • Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the steak, flipping once, until medium rare, 2 to 6 minutes per side depending on the thickness. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain and reserve.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound baby red-skinned potatoes
1 clove garlic, smashed
Kosher salt
2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 1/2 pounds beef tri-tip, cut lengthwise into 4 steaks
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Freshly ground pepper
2 medium zucchini, sliced diagonally 1 inch thick

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan; add the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes; drain, discarding the garlic.
  • Meanwhile, mix the olive oil, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Toss the zucchini in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of the herb oil. Rub the steak with a tablespoon of the remaining herb oil.
  • Grill the steak, turning once, about 10 minutes for medium rare (a thermometer inserted into the center of the steak should register 130 degrees F to 135 degrees F). Transfer to a plate to rest. Meanwhile, grill the zucchini, turning once, until well marked and crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with half of the lemon juice.
  • Toss the potatoes with the remaining herb oil and lemon juice, the parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the steak and zucchini.
