Instructions
- Stir together the cumin, chili powder, oregano and black pepper in a small bowl. Place the tomato-vegetable juice and lime juice in a measuring cup. Measure out 2 1⁄2 teaspoons of spice mixture and stir into the tomato-lime juice mixture.
- Combine the corn, green onions, red pepper and 1/2 cup of the tomato-lime juice mixture in a medium bowl. Stir to combine. Refrigerate until serving time.
- Preheat the broiler. Rub the remaining spice mixture onto both sides of the steak. Broil the steak 8 cm from the heat until medium-rare, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the steak but leave the broiler on. Let the steak stand for 10 minutes before thinly slicing across the grain, on the diagonal.
- Place the bread under the broiler, cut side up, until lightly toasted, about 30 seconds. Rub the toasted side of the bread with the cut garlic and with the remaining tomato-lime juice mixture and cook until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Serve the spicy steak with garlic toast and the corn relish.

Garlic bread is usually soaked with butter, but this grilled toast is fine without the fat because it’s rubbed with garlic, then brushed with a pleasantly spicy tomato-lime mixture.
