Ingredients

2 beef Flat Iron steaks (8 ounces each)
12 corn tortillas (6 to 7-inch diameter)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Salt and pepper

1/3 cup chopped jicama
1/3 cup chopped orange
1 tablespoon finely chopped jalapeño pepper
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel

Instructions

Combine Citrus Salsa ingredients in small bowl; season with salt and pepper as desired. Set aside.
Combine Avocado Cream ingredients in small bowl; season with salt and pepper as desired. Set aside.
Combine Rub ingredients; press evenly onto beef steaks. Place steaks on grid over medium, ash-covered coals.
