Summer Steak and Grilled Corn Salad

Print Recipe

A refreshing dish combining grilled steak and sweet corn, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Skirt Steak (Marinate for deeper taste.)
  • 2 ears Corn (Grilled for sweet, smoky flavor.)
  • 4 cups Romaine Lettuce (Can be switched for mixed greens.)
  • 1 medium Avocado (Adds creaminess; olive oil can substitute.)
  • 1/2 cup Cotija Cheese (Feta makes an excellent stand-in.)
  • 1/2 medium Red Onion (Marinated for enhanced flavor.)
  • 1/4 cup Chives (Fresh herbs for flavor boost.)
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil (For richness.)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (Minced for best flavor.)
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice (Brightens the salad.)
  • to taste Salt (Enhances all flavors.)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Skirt Steak: Combine your favorite marinade in a bowl. Add the skirt steak and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Grill the Corn: Heat your grill to medium-high. Place the corn on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until slightly charred and tender (about 10-15 minutes). Once done, remove from the grill and let it cool.
  3. Cook the Steak: Grill the marinated skirt steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your preferred doneness. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  4. Prepare the Salad Base: While the steak is resting, chop the Romaine lettuce and place it in a large salad bowl.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Cut the grilled corn kernels off the cob and add them to the bowl. Slice the avocado, thinly slice the red onion, and add both to the salad. Crumble Cotija cheese and chopped chives over the top.
  6. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Drizzle this dressing over the salad ingredients.
  7. Toss the Salad: Gently toss all the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
  8. Add Steak: Top the tossed salad with the sliced steak.

Notes

For even better flavor, marinate the steak for several hours or overnight. This salad is great for BBQs or picnic lunches.
