Step 2: MAKE PICO

Place shallot, cherry tomatoes, half of the cilantro, 2 Tbsp. lime juice, 2 Tbsp. oil and a pinch of salt and pepper in small bowl. Mix until incorporated and set aside to marinate.

Step 3: SEAR STEAK

Season steak with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides. Place steak on hot, lightly oiled grill or sauté pan over medium-high heat with 1 tsp. oil. Sear 4-5 min per side until charred and fully cooked. Remove steak from heat and place on a cutting board to rest. USDA recommends cooking beef to an internal temperature 145ºF*.

Step 4: WARM TORTILLAS

When the steak has 3 min left to cook, place tortillas on hot grill for 30-60 sec per side until warmed. Remove from heat. Alternatively, wipe out sauté or grill pan, place back on medium heat, and warm tortillas for 30-60 sec per side.

Step 5: SLICE STEAK

After steak has rested at least 1-2 min, slice against the grain into thin strips.
