Chipotle Flank Steak With Black Bean-Avocado Salsa

Submitted by AZPARZYCH

"Received this recipe by Jaime Purviance in an email. Posting for ZWT. Recipe notes state: "The lively collection of flavors brought together in this salsa stand up boldly to grilled steak. The creamy avocado also plays well against the slight spiciness of the rub. If you’d like more heat, add some minced jalapeño or serrano chiles to the salsa.""

Fabulous! I was afraid the steak would be tough because there was no marinating, but it was just perfect. The combination of flavors was wonderful together, and I'll definitely make this again. I might add some jalapenos to the salsa, but that is because I like things a bit spicy. This was a great find! Thanks for sharing.....made for Photo Tag game.
