Chipotle Flank Steak with Black Bean-Avocado Salsa

By: Jamie Purviance

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.
