Marinate the skirt steak with blacken fajita seasoning, ensuring it's well coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes but no more than an hour.

Chop the veggies needed for pico de gallo while the steak is marinating.

Prepare the salsa by adding tomato, jalapenos, red onions, and blacken seasoning to a food processor. Add about 2 tablespoons of sugar, garlic, olive oil, and vinegar. Chop until you achieve a chunky salsa texture.

Mash ripe avocados in a bowl, add a squeeze of lime, a shake of blacken seasoning, and a handful of fresh pico de gallo to make guacamole.

Fire up the grill using B&B oakum charcoal in a Weber kettle grill. Use a torch to ignite the charcoal and allow the grates to heat up until you have a low fire with just embers.

Grill corn on the grill until charred, then cut it off the cob. Mix it with pico de gallo, a squeeze of lime, and a dash of blacken seasoning for grilled corn salsa.

Grill the marinated skirt steak, watching for flare-ups due to the fat and olive oil. Use long tongs and heat-resistant gloves for safety. Focus on building a crust rather than a specific temperature. Grill for a few minutes on each side, flipping often if flare-ups occur.

Once the steak has a nice crust and is no longer bouncy, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a time equal to how long it was seared.

Cube the rested steak and dust it with more blacken fajita seasoning for added flavor.

Assemble your carne asada bowl starting with rice (plain or cilantro lime), then add grilled corn, pico de gallo, black beans, and guacamole.
