Recipes:

Marinated Flank Steak

• 1 1/2 lb trimmed flank steak
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground fennel
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Tenderize steak, rub with salt, cumin, fennel and pepper (both sides) and marinate overnight in 1/3 cup olive oil.

Preheat broiler, drain steak and broil steak on a broiler pan about 4 inches from heat, approx 5-6 min. per side for medium-rare. Transfer to cutting board and let stand 5 minutes.

Thinly slice steak against grain, serve with chimichurri sauce, avocado salad and sweet potato fries.

Chimichurri sauce

• 1 1/2 cups fresh cilantro
• 1 1/2 cups fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1 large garlic clove
• 1/4 cup sherry vinegar
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne

Add garlic to a food processor and finely chop. Add cilantro, parsley, vinegar, oil, cayenne, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, then pulse until herbs are finely chopped. Serve over flank steak.

Grilled Sweet Potato "fries"

• 6 large sweet potatoes
• 1/2 cup olive oil, separated into 1/4 cup portions
• Juice from 2 large limes
• 1/2 tbsp cumin seeds, toasted and ground (can substitute ground cumin if necessary)

Bring stockpot of water to boil (6+ quarts)
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Slice sweet potatoes into 1/2"-thick segments, first longwise, then crosswise. Parboil potatoes approx. 8-10 minutes, immediately drain and rinse under COLD water. Skins may separate a bit, that's okay.

Toss potato segments in 1/4 cup olive oil, and grill over medium-high heat, approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until lightly charred and tender.

Place potato segments on large cookie sheet, sprinkle with ground cumin and lime juice. Serve immediately, or pop under broiler for 4-5 minutes if desired.

Avocado Salad

• 2 large avocados, pitted and sliced
• 1 small red onion, sliced thin and deflamed
• 1 small red bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped (or julienned, if you prefer)
• 1 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas), toasted
• 1/2 cup yellow sweet corn
• 1/2 cup white sweet corn
• 2-3 tbsp sherry vinegar (to taste)
• 4 large tomatillos, broiled and pureed
• 1 tsp raw sugar

Combine avocados, onion, pepper, corn and pumpkin seeds in large bowl. In separate bowl, whisk together tomatillo puree, raw sugar and sherry vinegar until well combined. Drizzle over avocado mixture and 'gently' toss until well combined.
