Preparation facts

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 beef flank steak (about 1-1/2 pounds)

8 medium flour tortillas, warmed

Marinade:

2 Tbs fresh lime juice

2 tsp vegetable oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

Pico de Gallo:

1/2 cup chopped seeded tomato

1/2 cup diced zucchini

1/4 chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 cup prepared picante sauce or salsa

1 Tbs fresh lime juice

Directions

Combine marinade ingredients in small bowl. Place beef steak and marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight, turning occasionally.

Combine Pico de Gallo ingredients in medium bowl.

Remove steak; discard marinade. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 17 to 21 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally. Carve across the grain into thin slices. Serve in tortillas with Pico de Gallo.

To broil, place steak on rack in broiler pan so surface of beef is 2 to 3 inches from heat. Broil 13 to 18 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning once.
