I made this for dinner this week and used london broil and cooked it under the broiler. The tomato salsa was delicious and I'd use it for other recipes as well. I enjoyed the meat, but I felt the spice rub was a touch too smoky. Next time I'd cut down on the cinnamon and the cumin, but it's a repeat.

The combination of the salsa and the steak was fantastic! I used a can of Rotel diced tomatoes instead of fresh but otherwise made as written. I will definitely make this again!

Very tasty and easy.. I think 5/side is better, but that's just my preference. Fresh, tasty farmer's market tomatoes make this really shine.

I made this for my fiance and I for Valentine's Day and it was amazing. I put the steak over a bed of arugula with the salsa on the side but we both agreed the arugula was extraneous. You just need steak and salsa to make this a great meal. I was also very pleased that this came together so fast. 10 minutes in the broiler and we were ready to eat!

Use less chipotle chili pepper powder next time.

Really liked the cinnamon rub. Made with trimmed boneless ribeyes, otherwise to recipe. Served with grilled corn & salt-boiled new potatoes. Easy summer meal.

Steak was very flavorful but with all the spices it made the house very spicy smelling, I'll have to remember to open a window when I try my next attempt! The salsa was yummy with the meat and with chips. I added a little green pepper to the salsa and it added a nice bold flavorful crunch.
