Ingredients

Steak & Salad

Lime-Cilantro Dressing

Method

1

Pat the steak dry and season generously with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Let sit at room temperature 20 minutes.

2

Grill or sear the steak over high heat 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, until a deep crust forms. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing thin against the grain.

3

Grill or char the corn directly over the flame (or in a dry skillet), turning occasionally, 8-10 minutes until spotted black. Cut the kernels off the cob once cool enough to handle.

4

Blend or whisk lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, honey, and salt until combined.

5

Toss the greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and charred corn in a large bowl with half the dressing.

6

Divide the salad among plates, top with sliced steak and diced avocado, drizzle with the remaining dressing, and scatter pepitas over the top.

Notes

  • Let the steak come fully to room temperature before grilling for the most even cook.
  • Swap steak for grilled chicken thighs for a lighter, budget-friendly version.
