Directions

Combine Cajun spice, cumin, salt and pepper flakes in small bowl. Set aside half of mixture. Sprinkle both sides of steak with remaining mixture.

Heat half of the oil in non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, cook steak about 8 minutes, turning at least twice, for medium-rare doneness 145°F(63°C). Remove to plate; cover loosely with foil. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain.

Meanwhile, reduce heat to medium; add remaining oil. Cook onion, red pepper and reserved spice mixture, cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 4 minutes. Add salsa, corn, ketchup and beans; heat through, about 4 minutes. Toss with steak slices; serve with squeeze of lime.
