Instructions

For the Flank Steak Marinade

  1. Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Add flank steak to a zip-lock bag and pour marinade over meat. Squeeze air out of the bag, seal tightly, and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.

For the Avocado Salad

  1. Add the avocados, red onion, jalapeño, corn, beans, tomatoes, and arugula to a large bowl. Add olive oil, honey, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper to a small jar. Screw the lid on and shake well to mix. Pour over avocado salad and stir to coat. Taste for seasoning and add salt to taste. Serve over flank steak, or with tortilla chips for dipping.
  2. To grill the flank steak, heat grill to 400 degrees. Add flank steak, and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or to desired doneness. Remove the meat from the grill and cover with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes, and then cut into thin strips with a sharp knife against the grain.
