Unsaved Grilled Flank Steak with Roasted Tomatillo & Avocado Salsa

Ingredients

  • 8 Tomatillos, 14 to 16 oz., small to medium size, husks removed and tomatillos washed thoroughly
  • 2 Large jalapeños, stems removed
  • 1 Large white onion, peeled and cut into quarters
  • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil, or any oil, plus more as needed to coat
  • 1 1/2 lb Flank Steak
  • 1 Large hass avocado, pit removed
  • 1 cup Fresh cilantro, approximately 1 bunch leaves only, stems discarded
  • 3 Garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1/4 cup Fresh lime juice, plus more as needed for garnishing over grilled meat
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumin

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven broiler and adjust oven rack to sit 6 to 8 inches below broiler
  2. In a bowl, toss together tomatillos, jalapeños, and onion quarters. Add olive oil and a pinch of salt, and toss well to coat
  3. Arrange coated veggies on a sheet pan and place under broiler for approximately 8 to 12 minutes, turning everything halfway through cooking to ensure even charring
  4. Once veggies are nicely charred, remove from oven and cool slightly. Meanwhile, preheat grill to medium-high heat
  5. While grill is preheating, season steak liberally with salt and pepper. Set aside at room temperature
  6. Transfer slightly cooled veggies and pan juices to a blender and add avocado, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, and cumin. Blend until smooth. Season salsa to taste and set aside
  7. Spray preheated grill liberally with non-stick spray. Grill steak for approximately 6 to 10 minutes per side, depending on thickness of meat and desired doneness
  8. Remove from grill and drizzle a little fresh lime juice over steak. Rest for at least 15 minutes; we recommend an internal temperature of around 145º F.
  9. Cut steak thinly against the grain on a bias or slight angle, and serve on tortillas or over grilled veggies. Garnish with salsa as desired
  10. Chef's Note: Salsa can be made in advance and stored covered in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. For best results, allow salsa time to rest in the fridge for at least 4 hours before serving
