How to Make Spiced Rubbed Flank Steak

• Make your marinade. In a large ziplock bag combine the avocado oil, cumin, garlic powder, chipotle powder, salt, lime juice, soy sauce, and minced garlic. 
• Add the flank steak to the marinade and seal the bag, gently massage marinade into the meat and refrigerate for 1 hour – overnight. 
• Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Char each side for a few minutes, giving it a nice char brown color, and turn down the heat to cook till the desired doneness, we like a medium-well steak. 
• While the steak is cooking prepare your avocado salsa. In a small bowl combine tomatoes, cilantro, corn, jalapeño, onion, avocado, lime juice, and salt. Serve over grilled flank steak.
