Grilled Flank Steak w/ Avocado Cilantro Cream Sauce

Earlier today I went on a search for a new recipe for grilled Flank Steak.  I typically feel that flank steak doesn't need much other than a simple seasoning, appropriate grill time, and cutting against the grain to serve.  This recipe add a lot of flavor with a fairly simple marinade and really nice avocado cilantro sauce. While this recipe as written calls for beer, you can replace that with broth or other liquid of your choosing.

Ingredients
2 lbs flank steak
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 cup light beer
1 garlic clove, minced
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp cumin
½ tsp chili powder
2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

For the Avocado Cilantro Sauce
1 avocado, peel and seed removed
¼ cup cilantro
2 cloves garlic
2 Tbsp oil
2 Tbsp light beer
1 Tbsp lime juice
¼ tsp salt

Directions
Mix all marinade ingredients in a Ziploc bag and mix well.  Add steak and refrigerate for 4-6 hours.

Preheat grill. Remove steak from marinade and pat dry. Grill on a preheated grill until medium rare, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove from grill, allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. While steak is resting, make sauce.

To make the sauce add all the sauce ingredients to a blender or food processor, process on high until smooth.  Add additional oil or beer as needed.
