Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 avocados - peeled, pitted and diced
½ onion, minced
2 Roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
1 clove garlic, pressed
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak

Steps:

  • Place the avocados, onion, tomato, garlic, and cilantro into a mixing bowl. Season with 1 teaspoon cumin, 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes, lime juice, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir gently until evenly combined; set aside.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Combine the kosher salt, 2 tablespoons cumin, 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper, ground black pepper, coriander, chili powder, and cinnamon in a bowl; set aside.
  • Dry the flank steak with paper towels, and rub the spice mixture onto both sides. Cook on the preheated grill until the flank steak starts to firm, and is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove the steak from the grill, cover with aluminum foil, and let rest 5 minutes before slicing against the grain. Arrange onto a platter, and top with salsa to serve.

I'm not a big fan of avocado, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The avocado salsa is not overpowering and it really complements the steak.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover avocado. I always have a few avocados that are about to go bad, and this is the perfect way to use them up.

The steak was a bit overcooked for my liking, but the avocado salsa was delicious.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.
