Flank Steak Marinade
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce, (use gluten free brand)
- 2 Tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ cup yellow onions, sliced
- 1 Tablespoon garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons cumin, ground
- 2 Tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 2 lb Flank Steak
Mexican Corn Salad
- 2 cups corn kernels
- 1 avocado
- ½ red bell pepper, diced
- ½ green bell pepper, diced
- 1 tomato, diced
- 2 Tablespoons red onion, diced
- ¼ teaspoon cumin, ground
- ¼ teaspoon smoked Paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 Tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- Cotija Cheese, crumbled
Mexican Corn Salad
Chop the red and green peppers, dice the tomato and red onion and combine all the ingredients into a large bowl.
Stir well and store covered in the refrigerator until the steak is ready.
Flank Steak
Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Please the flank steak and marinade in a large Ziplock baggie and place in the refrigerator to marinate for a minimum of 3 hours, but preferably overnight.
Once the steak has finished marinating, start the grill and let it heat until it reaches a temperature of at least 400 degrees. To grill your flank steak, I typically grill it for 6-7 minutes on each side to get more of a medium doneness. If you're going for more of a medium rare, grill for 5-6 minutes on each side.
Once the steak has reached the internal desired doneness, pull the steak off the grill and let it rest on a plate for about 10 minutes.
From there, grab a sharp knife and slice your steak against the grain into thin slices.
Spoon the Mexican Corn Salad across the steak. Squeeze fresh lime juice on top of your steak and top with crumbled Cotija cheese.
