Recipe Tips

  • Flank steak is used in this recipe, but several other cuts of beef would work well.
  • Both sirloin and top round would be delicious. Both can be purchased in 1-lb increments.
  • Grill as directed in recipe, and let rest before slicing.
  • Make it FRESH toppings ideas: diced Avocados From MexicoTM avocado, fresh lime wedges, sour cream or crema.
