Season the flank steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare or until your desired doneness. Remove the steak and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, ground cumin, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to create the dressing. Set aside.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, black beans, and chopped cilantro.
Drizzle the lime dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Top the salad with the sliced steak. Optionally, garnish with extra cilantro or a sprinkle of black pepper.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Steak Avocado Bean Salad.
