Preparation

1 Prepare the vegetables; set aside.  2 Thinly slice the meat. Combine meat in a large bowl and toss with oil. 3 Heat grill until good and hot. 4 Mix the chili powder and brown sugar. Just before putting the vegetables and meat on the grill, coat the meat with the chili powder mixture. 5 Spread the vegetables out on a perforated grilling sheet and put it all on the grill. Grill about 7 minutes until blackened, then flip both the meat and the vegetables.
