Instructions

Start by marinating the steak: place the meat in either a resealable plastic bag or a large baking dish. Add the oil, lime and orange juices, smashed garlic, cumin, cilantro, and a good amount of salt and pepper (beef needs salt!). Let this marinate for 30 minutes in the fridge.
When you’re ready to cook, preheat the broiler to high. Remove the meat from the bag/dish and transfer to a sheet pan. Season with more salt and pepper. Broil, without flipping, for 7 to 8 minutes (for medium rare), or until it’s cooked to your liking. Let it rest for at least 8 minutes before slicing and topping with the relish (see below).
Meanwhile, make the relish: combine the mango, cilantro, shallot, avocado, jalapeno (if using), olive oil, lime juice, and salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir to mix well, and set aside until needed (this can be made in advance and chilled until use).
