Directions
Preheat an outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
Prep the Vegetable Skewers: Skewer vegetables, drizzle with olive oil, Pasilla Chili and salt. Set aside.
Prep the Steak: Season steak, corn and peppers with Ancho Chili and kosher salt to taste.
Grill veggie skewers, corn, peppers and halloumi cheese for about 4 minutes on each side until charred. Set aside and tent with foil to keep warm.
Grill steak for about 3 minutes per side until internal temperature when tested with an instant read thermometer reaches 125F for medium-rare. Set aside and tent with foil to keep warm. Thinly slice steak and remove corn from cob.
To make the chili oil, heat olive oil, Guajillo Chili and garlic in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until sizzling, about 2 minutes. To assemble caprese salad, arrange grilled halloumi and tomatoes on a platter. Drizzle with Guajillo Chili oil, season with salt and top with fresh basil.
To serve: On a large platter, place veggie skewers, steak and grilled peppers. Top with corn. Serve alongside halloumi caprese. Season with more chili, to taste.
