How to Make Grilled Flank Steak With Avocado Relish

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon lime zest, 2 teaspoons avocado oil (or extra virgin olive oil), 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 clove minced garlic.
Score the flank steak in a diamond pattern on both sides, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Rub the oil mixture generously all over the steak. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the steak on the preheated grill. Grill for 6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to achieve your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your preferred internal temperature (130-135°F for medium-rare).
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the steak rests, prepare the relish: In a separate bowl, combine 1 teaspoon lime zest, 2 teaspoons avocado oil (or extra virgin olive oil), 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 ripe avocado (diced), 1/2 cup diced tomato, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1-2 jalapeños, finely minced (adjust to your spice preference).
Slice the steak thinly against the grain. Serve immediately topped with the avocado relish and a lime wedge for an extra squeeze of citrusy goodness.
