Ingredients
Ruby Grapefruit Marinade:
- 1/4 cup ruby grapefruit juice
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 lb beef flank or skirt steak
Vegetables:
- 1 large sweet onion
- 2 large bell peppers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
To assemble:
- 8 small tortillas
- 1 handful cilantro leaves
- 1 jalapeno thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup yogurt
Instructions
- Add the grapefruit and lemon juice, and seasonings, to a large zipperlock freezer bag, or a large container with a lid. Seal, and shake until the ingredients are blended.
- Add the beef, and refrigerate from 4 to 12 hours.
- When the beef is ready, preheat your grill (indoor or outdoor) to a high setting.
- Slice the onion into thin wedges.
- Remove the stems and seeds from the pepper, and cut into thin strips. Add to the onion slices in a bowl along with the tablespoon of olive oil. Toss to coat the vegetables.
- Spread the veggies in a single layer on a grill pan, or a large piece of foil placed on the grill. Grill for about 10 minutes, until the onions are browned and the peppers are softened.
- Keep the veggies warm as you sear the steak for about 5 minutes on each side.
- Let the meat rest a few minutes before cutting into strips crosswise.
- Serve with vegetables and toppings in the tortillas.
