Grilled Flank Steak with Black Bean and Corn Salsa
Description
Grilled Flank Steak with Black Bean and Corn Salsa features a flank steak seasoned with garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper, enhanced by fresh lime juice. The steak is grilled over high heat until it reaches medium to medium-rare doneness, resulting in juicy slices with a slightly charred exterior. The salsa combines black beans, sweet corn kernels, diced tomatoes, minced red onion, and cilantro dressed simply with olive oil, lime juice, and seasoning to add freshness and texture. After grilling, the steak is sliced thinly against the grain and topped with the salsa to provide a mix of smoky meat and bright, crisp salad. This meal works well for a casual outdoor barbecue or a flavorful weeknight dinner.
