Salad:

Corn Relish

Directions

  1. Whisk together all of the marinade ingredients. Trim the steak of fat. Score both sides of flank steak in a criss-cross. Put the steak in a deep dish or sealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Marinate the flank steak in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours before grilling.
  2. Cook beans in cold water with 2 cloves of garlic. Add salt, about 10 minutes before the beans are done. They should be tender but not mushy.
  3. Preheat the grill for 20 minutes. Bring the steak to room temperature.
  4. Season the flank steak with salt and pepper. Grill 1 to 2 minutes each side. Allow to sit 15 minutes before slicing it. Arrange the arugula with the beans over top. Then place thinly sliced flank steak and corn relish over top. Garnish with the cilantro leaves.
