Ingredients
- 10 oz lean steak (sirloin or flank)
- 1 tbsp olive oil, plus 2 tbsp for dressing
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 red onion, finely diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
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 medium bowl, combine the rinsed black beans, corn, diced red bell pepper, finely diced red onion, and chopped cilantro.
- 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.
- tips:
- For enhanced flavor, marinate the steak in a little lime juice and cumin for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Add a few slices of fresh avocado just before serving for extra creaminess and healthy fats.
