INSTRUCTIONS

  • Lightly toast cumin seeds in a dry medium skillet for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender. Add jalapeños, garlic, black pepper, salt and lime and puree until the cumin seeds are finely ground. Then add cilantro, olive oil and salt and puree until smooth.
  • Cut steak into 6 servings. Generously brush with marinade and roll into cylinder. Arrange steaks in shallow pan and pour the remaining marinade. Cover and refrigerate 24 to 48 hours before cooking. Cook steaks 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Heat about 2/3 of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté corn with salt and pepper, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool.
  • Cut avocados, bell pepper and roasted poblanos into ¼-inch dices. Add to corn along with scallions, red wine vinegar and remaining olive oil. Mix well and let sit 20 to 30 minutes to blend the flavors.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve with a lightly dressed green salad topped with Fresh Rosywood Avocado.

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
