In the summer we grill every chance we can! One of my favorite ways to grill meats is to top them with fresh salad or salsa. A few successful examples of this: Grilled Flank Steak with Tomatoes Red Onion and Balsamic and Grilled Chicken Bruschetta.

This steak dish has a ton of flavor! The flank steak is seasoned with cumin and garlic and grilled to perfection, then topped with a fresh black bean, corn and tomato salsa for a quick and easy weeknight meal.

This dish is dairy-free, gluten-free and takes under 30 minutes to make.

Variations and Tips:

In this Tex Mex version, the flavors can be easily tweaked to suit your family’s taste.

  • Make it spicy with some chopped jalapenõs
  • Sweeten it by adding some chopped pineapple
  • Make it whole30 by swapping the corn and beans for a simple pico de gallo.
  • Make ahead. Season the steak and make the salsa a day ahead, if needed.
