Flank Steak with Fresh Vegetable Salsa

Ingredients

• 1 (2 to 3-pound) flank steak
• 2 cups mixed chopped seasonal fresh vegetables, such as squash, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, red onion, tomato, and carrots
• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 limes, juiced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Preheat a large nonstick saute pan, or preheat a grill or grill pan. Sear the flank steak on both sides for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until medium-rare. Remove steak from heat and let rest for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine vegetables, vinegar, olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and mix well.

Cut steak against the grain into slices. Serve the steak and vegetable salsa with tortillas, chips and avocado, sour cream, and grated Cheddar, if desired.
