Flank steak is a marinating steak, but if you cook it to no more than medium-rare and slice it thinly across the grain, it doesn't need the marination, as you'll taste here.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 flank marinating steak, 1 lb/500 g
  • Avocado Salad:
  • 2 tbsp wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 sweet red pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onions
  • 2 avocados
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander

Preparation

Avocado Salad: In bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, hot pepper sauce and salt. Add red pepper and onion; toss to coat. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)

In small bowl, combine oil, cumin, salt and pepper; brush over both sides of steak. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate on large plate for up to 24 hours.)

Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill until medium-rare, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board; tent with foil and let stand for 5 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain.

Meanwhile, cut avocados in half lengthwise; remove pit. Using knife with rounded tip, cut flesh lengthwise into slices without breaking skin. With spoon, scoop slices away from skin; add to red pepper mixture. Add coriander; toss gently. Serve with steak.
