Ingredients

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

Instructions

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.
