1. Place beef steaks in food-safe plastic bag. Add marinade; turn steaks to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 15 minutes to 2 hours.
2. Combine beans, corn and salsa in medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat 4 to 6 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; keep warm.
3. Meanwhile place cilantro in food processor container. Cover; process until chopped. Add avocado, dressing and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover; process until smooth. Season with salt, as desired. Set aside.
4. Remove steaks from marinade; discard marinade. Season evenly with remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Spray ridged grill pan or large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Heat over medium heat until hot. Place steaks in pan; cook 12 to 15 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally. Season with salt, as desired.
5. Serve steaks with bean mixture. Top with avocado mixture.
Cook's Tip:
Four beef shoulder center steaks (ranch steak), cut 1 inch thick or beef top blade steaks (flat iron), about 8 ounces each, may be substituted for beef chuck eye. Cook ranch steaks 13 to 16 minutes (top blade 13 to 15 minutes) for medium rare to medium doneness, tuning occasionally.
