Ingredients

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and lime juice. Rub the mixture all over the flank steak and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes while you prep the vegetables.
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high heat. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side (for medium-rare), or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
While steak is resting, arrange chopped romaine lettuce in four dinner bowls. Top each with shredded cheese, red onion, cilantro, and avocado slices.
Divide the sliced carne asada evenly among the bowls. Squeeze extra lime over the top and serve immediately.
