Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Skirt Steak
- 2 ears Corn
- 4 cups Romaine Lettuce
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1/2 cup Cotija Cheese
- 1/2 medium Red Onion
- 1/4 cup Chives
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- to taste Salt
Instructions
- 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.
- 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). Let it cool before removing.
- 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.
- Prepare the Salad Base: While the steak is resting, chop the Romaine lettuce and place it in a large salad bowl.
- 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 over the top, along with chopped chives.
- 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.
- Toss the Salad: Gently toss all ingredients until evenly coated with the dressing.
- Add Steak: Top the tossed salad with the sliced steak.
Notes
For more flavor, consider adding spices to your marinade. Use fresh corn when available for the best taste. Feel free to mix in other vegetables like bell peppers or cherry tomatoes.
