Steak Tacos

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds flank steak, trimmed if necessary

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon chile powder

3/4 teaspoon black pepper

3/4 teaspoon cayenne

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Any desired toppings (cheese, guacamole, salsa, etc)

Heat a cast iron grill pan over moderately high heat until beginning to smoke, then brush with oil.

While pan heats, pat steak dry and stir together spices and salt, then rub all over both sides of steak.

Grill steak, turning over once, 9 to 11 minutes total for medium-rare.

Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.

While standing, gently warm tortillas on grill pan.

Thinly slice steak across the grain at a 45-degree angle.
