    1 clove garlic, minced
    1 tablespoon chili powder
    5 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 lb hanger steak, trimmed of any excess fat
    2 lbs purple potatoes, such as purple peruvians or all blues,scrubbed
    3/4 cup white corn kernels (about 1 large ear) or 3/4 cup frozen corn, thawed
    1 large avocado, peeled,pitted,and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
    6 radishes, thinly sliced

Preparation
    In a small bowl, mix the garlic, chili powder, 1 tablespoon of the lime juice, the cumin, and salt until well combined.
    Massage this mixture into both sides of the hanger steak.
    Cover and refrigerate the meat for at least 2 hours, but no more than 6 hours.
    Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
    Add the potatoes and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes.
    Drain and cool, then cut into quarters, or 2-inch chunks, whichever is smaller.
    Position the broiler rack 4 inches from the heat and preheat the broiler.
    Place the hanger steak on a large lipped baking sheet.
    Broil, turning once, about 3 minutes each side for medium.
    Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes.
    Cut it in half, then slice each piece into thin strips against the grain, cutting in long strokes with the knife at a 45-degree angle to the cutting board.
    Place the sliced steak, potatoes, corn, avocado, radishes, and scallions in a large bowl.
