Instructions:

- Add the steak to the super hot grill and grill, covered about 2 1/2 minutes per side (for medium/medium-rare), or until steak reaches desired doneness.
- Remove steak to a clean plate and cover with foil & let rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Add the peppers and onions to the grill and grill, turning occasionally until cooked, peppers should take about 5 minutes and onions will take about 10.
- Remove from grill. Briefly add the tortillas to the grill, a couple at a time and grill until warmed and lightly charred around the edges.
- Wrap the tortillas in foil to keep warm.
- Thinly slice the steak, against the grain. Slice the onions in half and separate the rings.
