Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 (1 lb) beef flank steak
1 tsp ground ancho chili pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano, crushed
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp salt
Dash ground cinnamon
1 small sweet onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
4 medium tomatillos, halved and stems removed
1 15-oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 medium tomato, (1/2 C) seeded & chopped
1 small fresh jalapeņo chili pepper, seeded & finely chopped*
1/4 C snipped fresh cilantro
1/4 C lime juice
1/4 tsp ground cumin
6 C shredded romaine lettuce

Directions:
Trim fat from steak. Score both sides of steak in a diamond pattern making shallow diagonal cuts at 1-inch intervals. In a small bowl stir together the ground chili, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, salt, and cinnamon. Sprinkle spice mixture evenly over the flank steak; rub in with your fingers.

For a charcoal grill, place onion slices and tomatillos on a piece of foil on the grill rack directly over medium coals. Place steak next to vegetables. Grill steak, uncovered, for 17 to 21 minutes or until medium (160°F), turning once halfway through grilling. Grill onion slices and tomatillos for 10 to 12 minutes or until tender and browned, turning once halfway through grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place steak and then vegetables on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.) **

Transfer steak, onion, and tomatillos to a cutting board. Cover steak with foil; let stand for 10 minutes. Thinly slice steak across the grain. Chop the onion slices and tomatillos. In a large bowl combine chopped onion and tomatillos, beans, tomato, jalapeņo pepper, and cilantro. Add lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon cumin; toss to combine. To serve, arrange romaine on six serving plates. Top with black bean mixture and the steak slices.
