- Place the avocados, onion, tomato, garlic and coriander into a mixing bowl. Season with 1 teaspoon cumin, 2 teaspoons crushed chillies, lime juice and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir gently until evenly combined; set aside.
- Preheat an outdoor barbecue for medium-high heat and lightly oil the cooking grate. Combine the sea salt, 2 tablespoons cumin, 1 teaspoon crushed chillies, coriander, chilli powder and cinnamon in a bowl; set aside.
- Dry the steak with kitchen towels and rub the spice mixture onto both sides. Cook on the preheated barbecue until the steak starts to firm and is reddish-pink and juicy in the centre, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre should read 54 degrees C. Remove the steak from the barbecue, cover with foil and let rest 5 minutes before slicing against the grain. Arrange onto a serving plate and top with salsa to serve.

Holy guacamole Batman! This was a GREAT meal! I actually followed the recipe to a "T" no substitutions (which I almost NEVER do) and this was AWESOME! Got rave reviews from the finicky teenage boys-- apparently we will be eating this a lot more!! - 13 Jun 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
GREAT recipe! I couldnt' find flank steak at my grocery store so I used Chuck Eye Round Steak. It worked out wonderfully. The salsa this recipe makes is soooo good! I was eating it by itself, then got the chips out to dip in it. It makes quite a bit - good thing. I served it with rice and salad but plan on making it for steak tacos next. Great recipe! - 24 Jun 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This was very good! I love flank steak and this was a pretty good rub. I did think that the cinnamon seemed to stand out the most once it was cooked. The avocado salsa was delicious and I will definitely make that again - 18 Aug 2010 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
