- 1 tbsp olive oil, plus 2 tbsp for dressing
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp ground cumin

Instructions
- Season steak with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook steak for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to desired doneness. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the black bean and corn mixture and toss gently to coat. Arrange the sliced steak on top of the salad and serve immediately.
