Cumin Rubbed Denver Steak Burritos

I saw a “Denver Cut” steak in the store the other day and just had to get it, as I grew up near Denver. I was fascinated to read the story behind the cut (see the link), and planned on grilling them right from the start. On the package, it recommended a quick dry rub, which I decided was a good idea, and from there I sliced up the cooked meat and served it with tortillas, chili beans, and fresh guacamole (lacking tomatoes because I ate them yesterday for a snack). This was a great, filling dinner.

Cumin Rubbed Denver Steak
Serves 4

1 lb Denver steak
3 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground black pepper

Preheat the grill to medium high heat. Rub the steaks evenly with the spices and grill for about 15-20 minutes total, turning once. Let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
