ingredients

For the Steak
  • 2 lbs Flank Steak
  • 1 cup Oil
  • juice from 4 Lime
  • 1/2 cup Rice Vinegar
  • 1 cup Fresh Cilantro loosely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp Adobo Sauce
  • 4 Chipotle Peppers
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
For the Avocado Salsa
  • 3 Tomatillos
  • 1 JalapeƱo
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro roughly chopped
  • 1 Avocado halved and pitted

instructions

  • Add steak to a large ziplock bag with oil, lime juice, rice vinegar, cilantro, adobo sauce, chipotle peppers, salt, and black pepper.
  • Turn the steak to coat in the marinade evenly. Let side in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
  • Heat grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat.
  • Remove steak from marinade and grill until desired doneness. I recommend about 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare.
  • Remove steak from heat and let rest 15 minutes before slicing.
  • While the steak is resting, add all ingredients for avocado salsa to a food processor or blender. Pulse until combined.
  • Serve steak immediately with avocado salsa.
