Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) each chili powder and ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
- 1 lb (500 g) Ontario Beef Grilling Steak (strip loin or sirloin)
- 1 lb (500 g) Ontario Asparagus, trimmed and cut into quarters
- 2-1/2 cups (625 mL) sliced Ontario White and/or Crimini Mushrooms
- 4 cloves Ontario Garlic, minced

- 4 tsp (20 mL) vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried oregano

Instructions
In small bowl, stir together chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper; rub into both sides of steak. In large bowl, combine asparagus, mushrooms, garlic, peppers, onion, oil and oregano. Stack tortillas and double wrap in foil.
Place steak on greased grill and vegetables in grilling basket over medium-high heat. Close lid and grill steak, turning once, until medium-rare, about 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, place tortillas on grill and warm through, about 3 minutes.
To serve, slice steak thinly across the grain. In bowl, combine steak, vegetables and coriander (if using). Serve with warm tortillas and desired accompaniments.
