Why Secreto Steak Shines on the Kamado Joe

The Kamado Joe’s high heat retention and charcoal-fueled flavor make it perfect for grilling Secreto steak, a prized cut known for its marbling and tenderness. The ceramic construction ensures even heat distribution, while the open-flame sear brings caramelized texture to both the steak and pineapple. It’s the ultimate tool for hot-and-fast cooks with bold flavor.

Instructions

  1. 01

    Preheat your Kamado Joe to high heat, around 450–500°F, ideal for a hot and fast cook.

  2. 02

    Use Melinda’s Mexicana hot sauce as a binder and coat the Secreto steak, pineapple slices, and onion rings generously.

  3. 03

    Season all sides with 187 BBQ pork rub and Chorizo Rub for a punch of smoky, savory flavor.

  4. 04

    Place the steak, pineapple slices, and onions directly on the grates.

  5. 05

    Grill the steak for about 3–4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 140–145°F for medium doneness. Grill the pineapple and onions until they are charred and softened.

  6. 06

    Once grilled, chop the steak, pineapple, and onions into bite-sized pieces. Toss with an extra sprinkle of your rubs for more flavor.

  7. 07

    Warm your tortillas directly on the grill for 30 seconds per side, then build your tacos with the chopped ingredients. Top with fresh cilantro and a drizzle of red or green hot sauce.
