INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Score the steak by slicing 0.5cm deep gashes against the grain about 1cm apart. This will help tenderise the beef and allow the marinade to penetrate.
  2. Combine lime zest, lime juice, oil, honey or agave, cumin, chilli powder and balsamic vinegar in a large zip-lock plastic bag. Place steak in the bag with marinade. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Heat grill over high heat. Remove steak from bag and cover with black pepper. Place steak on grill and cook for 4 minutes per side.
  4. Remove steak and let it rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Then, slice against the grain into strips. Divide evenly onto lettuce leaves, along with the cucumber, capsicum and mango; top with coriander leaves.
