Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat or the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Combine the ingredients for the seasonings in small bowl or bag and mix.
  3. In a large bowl, add the steak and drizzle with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, juice from 1 lime and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle with 2/3 of the seasonings. Toss to coat well. (If time permits, allow to marinate at least 30 minutes or covered in fridge for up to 3 hours for maximum flavor).
  4. Cut four 18 x 12 inch squares of foil* and lay out on a flat surface.
  5. Place the steak in the middle of each piece of foil.
  6. Cut the veggies into thin strips and drizzle with olive oil and the remaining 1/3 of the seasoning mix. Divide evenly into each packet, arranging them around the steak.
  7. Fold the foil over the steak and seal to close off the packets.

If cooking on the grill

  1. Place foil packets onto grill and grill for 6-8 minutes, then flip over and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium (or until desired doneness).
  2. Remove from the grill and carefully open the foil packets.
  3. Serve with warm tortillas with sliced avocado and your favorite toppings.

If cooking in the oven

  1. Place foil packets on a baking sheet and cook for 10-15 minutes (or until desired doneness, rotating tray once). Remove baking sheet from oven.
  2. Serve with warm tortillas with sliced avocado and your favorite toppings.
