This brilliant twist swaps them out for grilled Brussels sprouts — charred, tender, and absolutely made for loading up with queso, carne asada, and all the toppings you love. It sounds a little out there, but once you try it, you'll be a total convert. Great as a sharing starter or a genuinely satisfying main.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e454g Brussels sprouts, halved lengthways\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 red onion, cut into wedges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvocado oil spray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 tsp smoky-sweet BBQ rub (such as a sweet heat blend)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e454g top sirloin steak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 tbsp taco seasoning (for the steak)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQueso Sauce\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e473ml double cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60g garlic cloves (roughly 10–12 cloves), peeled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25g mature cheddar, grated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25g easy-melt mild cheese (such as a mild Mexican-style melt cheese or young Gouda), grated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 tbsp taco seasoning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTo Serve (pick your favourites)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalsa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiced tomato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiced red onion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCooked crispy bacon, crumbled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra grated cheese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMethod\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreheat your gas grill to medium heat (around 180–190°C at the grates).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpray the halved Brussels sprouts and red onion wedges with avocado oil and toss in a bowl with the BBQ rub until evenly coated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace the sprouts and onions on a dual grilling grid or grill basket (this keeps them from falling through the grates) and grill over medium heat for 15–20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they have a good colour and are fork-tender.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhile the sprouts cook, make the queso sauce. Pour the double cream into a heavy-based saucepan on your side burner or hob and add the garlic cloves. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and reduce by half — this will take around 15 minutes. Stir in the grated cheeses and taco seasoning and keep stirring until everything is fully melted and smooth. Keep warm on a low heat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpray the top sirloin steak with avocado oil and coat evenly in the taco seasoning. Grill on the hottest part of the grill for 3–4 minutes per side for medium (or until the internal temperature reaches at least 63°C for medium, or 75°C for well done — your call with whole-muscle steak). Remove from the grill and rest for 10 minutes under loosely tented foil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThinly slice the rested steak across the grain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpread the grilled Brussels sprouts and onions across a large serving platter or board.
