Ingredients

  • 2 ripe nectarines approximately 5 oz. each – halved, pitted, and sliced into thin wedges
  • cup small fresh cilantro sprigs
  • cup very thinly sliced red onion rounds
  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced jalapeño chile about 1/2 small chile
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest plus 2 tablespoons juice from 1 lime
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground hot paprika
  • 2 strip steaks about 1 lb. each
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese about 1 1/2 oz.

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the sliced nectarines, cilantro sprigs, thinly sliced red onion, jalapeño chile, lime zest, lime juice, and olive oil.
  • Season the nectarine salsa with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the chili powder, ground hot paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper.
  • Pat the steaks dry and rub the spice mixture all over them.
  • Grill the steaks until grill marks form, and the steaks reach your desired doneness, approximately 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  • Allow the steaks to rest for 5 minutes.
  • While resting, grill the tortillas until they have a delightful char, about 30 seconds per side.
  • Thinly slice the rested steaks.
