Fresh Tomato Salsa -- see recipe
4 beef rib eye steaks -- cut 3/4 inch thick
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
6 flour tortillas (6-inch in diameter)
1/4 cup Colby cheese -- shredded

tortilla packet on outer edge of grid, five minutes before end of cooking
time. Heat tortillas 5 minutes, turning once. Top each steak with equal
amounts of each cheese 1 minute before end of cooking time. Trim excess fat
from steaks; carve steaks into slices. Yield: 6 servings.
