Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 to 2 pounds flank steak
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 3 ears sweet corn
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1 large (or 2 small) ripe avocados, diced
- 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
- 3/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
- 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon finely minced jalapeño (optional)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to 450°F and oil the grates.
- Mix garlic powder, coriander, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, pepper, and brown sugar.
- Pat steak dry, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, and rub with the spice mix.
- Oil, salt, and pepper the corn. Grill for 10–12 minutes, turning every 3–4 minutes, until charred. Let cool and slice kernels off the cobs.
- Grill the steak 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from grill, tent with foil, and let rest 5–10 minutes.
- While steak rests, mix corn kernels, avocado, red onion, red bell pepper, cilantro, cumin, jalapeño, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and stir gently.
- Slice steak thinly against the grain.
- Arrange steak on a platter, top with salsa, and garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges.
Notes
Slice steak against the grain for tenderness. Adjust salsa seasoning to taste. For extra kick, add more jalapeño or red pepper flakes.
