Ingredients

• 1 lb flank steak
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 ripe avocados
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 red onion
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 3 tbsp cilantro
• 1 jalapeño (optional)
• 0.25 tsp salt (for relish)
• 0.25 tsp black pepper (for relish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or zip-top bag, and rub the marinade evenly over the steak. Let it marinate at room temperature for 15-20 minutes while you prepare the avocado relish.

Step 3

For the avocado relish, dice the avocados, cherry tomatoes, and red onion, and place them in a medium bowl.

Step 4

Add the lime juice, chopped cilantro, diced jalapeño (if using), salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Gently toss everything together until well combined. Set aside.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Grill the flank steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your steak more done. Use a meat thermometer to check for a desired internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare).

Step 7

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes on a cutting board to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Thinly slice the steak against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Step 9

Serve the sliced flank steak topped with the fresh avocado relish, and enjoy!
