Ingredients

Vacio:

  • 1 Whole Vacio like from Porter Road
  • Kosher Salt as needed
  • Black Pepper as needed
  • Garlic Powder as needed

Egg-Stuffed Bell Peppers:

  • 6-8 Bell Peppers assorted colors
  • Pepper Jack Cheese cubed
  • 6-8 Farm-Fresh Eggs
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat an asado style grill, like my FYR grill, for direct cooking at medium heat (about 300F). Wait for ash white coals to cook it without flare ups.
  • Season the whole vacio all over with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  • Add the vacio to the grill, fat side down, to the grill and slowly cook for about 3-3.5 hrs. Make sure to manage the fire well so there are no flare ups or burnt bits (it's okay if charred but not burnt burnt).
  • Once the fat is crusted and fully renders, flip the steak over and continue cooking for another 1 hour. Pull off and let rest once done for 20 minutes.
  • Slice into the steak and serve with chimichurri and more. Enjoy!

Notes

How to Make Egg-Stuffed Bell Peppers
Cut your bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. If they wobble, trim the bottoms slightly to keep them steady. Grill the halves face down for a few minutes directly on the grill grates. Turn back over and add a few cubes of pepper jack cheese to the bottom of each pepper half. Crack a farm-fresh egg over the cheese and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the peppers on the grill again over medium heat. Close the lid and cook for 10–15 minutes until the eggs are set to your liking. Remove from the grill and set them aside before serving with the Grilled Vacio.
