Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef steak (ribeye, sirloin or flank)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1.5 cups sweet corn (fresh or canned)
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
Prepare the beef by rubbing it with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the other components.
For the corn salsa, mix the sweet corn, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Set aside.
Prepare the chipotle dressing by blending the chipotle peppers, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, and water until smooth. Adjust the thickness with additional water if needed. Set aside in the refrigerator.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the beef for 4-5 minutes per side (for medium-rare) or adjust to your desired doneness. Remove from grill, cover loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
To assemble the salad, place the chopped romaine lettuce on a large platter or individual plates. Top with corn salsa, avocado slices, and the sliced grilled beef.
Drizzle the chipotle dressing over the salad and serve immediately. Enjoy!
