Directions for: Steak and Shrimp Taco Bar

Ingredients

1 cup kosher salt

1 cup ground oregano

1 cup chili powder

cup ground black pepper

cup cumin

cup garlic powder

cup cayenne pepper

37 lb(s) sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

18 lb(s) shrimp, peeled cleaned (16/20 count)

Oil, for grilling

Taco bar fixings of your choice, for serving

Directions

1. Heat 2 very large grill pans or griddles to high heat.

2. Mix together the salt, oregano, chili powder, black pepper, cumin, garlic powder and cayenne pepper in a bowl.

3. Put the steak cubes and shrimp in separate large bowls. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both and toss to ensure the steak and shrimp are well coated.

4. Add some oil to the grill pans and, working in batches, grill the shrimp on one grill pan until they turn from translucent to opaque, and the steak on the other grill pan to medium rare, 3 to 5 minutes per batch. Clean and re-oil the grill pans between batches.

5. Serve with the taco bar fixings of your choice.
