Step 1

Mojo Directions: Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk until salt is dissolved. Place flank steak in a large plastic freezer bag and pour mojo over top. Seal bag and refrigerate for one hour. If you marinate for too long the meat will become mushy from all of the acid.

Black Bean Salsa Directions:

Empty black beans into a colander and rinse thoroughly. Drain and place into a mixing bowl. Add remaining salsa ingredients to bowl and combine. Check seasoning and allow to stand at room temperature until ready to eat.
