Instructions
- Pat the flank steak dry and rub with garlic powder, ground coriander, ground cumin, paprika, ground chili powder, salt, pepper, and brown sugar.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the steak, coat well, and let marinate for 15 minutes.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and oil the grates.
- Grill the steak 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
- Remove steak, tent with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- While the steak rests, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add corn kernels and sauté until lightly charred, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer corn to a bowl and let cool slightly.
- Add diced avocado, red onion, red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, ground cumin, minced jalapeño, minced garlic, lime juice, and a drizzle of olive oil to the corn.
- Toss gently to combine and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime if needed.
- Serve sliced steak topped with generous portions of the corn salsa and garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges.
Notes
Let the steak rest before slicing to retain juices. For extra smoky flavor, use a charcoal grill.
