  • 2 teaspoons pure chile powder
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
 
  • 455 grams flank steak, about 18 millimeters thick

  • 4 medium green bell peppers, seeded and cut into flat sections
  • 2 medium red onions, cut crosswise into 8-milliliter slices

  • In a medium bowl combine the guacamole ingredients and stir with a fork until thoroughly combined; cover the surface with plastic wrap until ready to use.
  • In a blender or food processor finely chop the garlic and cilantro. Add the remaining marinade ingredients. Process until smooth.
  • Put the flank steak in one medium bowl and the chicken thighs in another. Add half the marinade to the steak and half to the chicken and turn to coat all sides evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (180° to 230°C).

The bell peppers will take 6 to 8 minutes, and the onions will take 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and cut the bell peppers and onions into 8-millimeter strips.
