Total time: 20 min • Prep: 10 min • Cook: 10 min • Serves: 4 • Difficulty: Easy

Cumin and oregano season flank steak that is served with a zesty green sauce for loads of flavor. The sauce would be equally delicious used as a sandwich spread or taco drizzle. The heat index of chilies can vary. If you don’t like your food too spicy, opt for a mild green jarred salsa here instead. You could also consider using three bell peppers and omitting the poblano from the mix.
