I love this recipe because the steak is smoky and savory while the salad is bright and fresh. It's exactly how I like to eat in the summer!

TECHNIQUE TIP: Rest the steak in some of the vinaigrette so it absorbs more flavor as it's resting.

SWAP OPTION: Swap flank steak for skirt. Ingredients

  • 2teaspoons toasted and ground cumin

  • 2teaspoons toasted and ground coriander

  • 2teaspoons ancho chili powder

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 1½pounds skirt steak, cleaned and trimmed

  • 4ears fresh corn, silks and husks removed

  • 1cup olive oil, plus more

  • 2cloves garlic, minced or finely grated

  • 2jalapeños, seeded and minced

  • 6limes, zested and juiced

  • 6small scallions, thinly sliced (whites and greens)

  • 3/4cup chopped cilantro leaves and small stems

  • 1½cups fresh blackberries

Preparation 1. Preheat a grill to high heat.

2. In a small mixing bowl combine the cumin, coriander, chili powder and 2 teaspoons salt.

3. Lay out the skirt steak and season well on both sides with the rub. Set aside.

4. Lay the corn out on a sheet tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the corn on the grill and cook, turning on all sides, until nicely marked and almost cooked through. Remove from the grill and set aside.

5. Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine the garlic, jalapeño and a large pinch of salt. Add the lime zest, lime juice and 1 cup of olive oil and whisk to combine. Pour half of the vinaigrette into a separate mixing bowl and set aside. To the first mixing bowl, add the scallions, cilantro and blackberries and toss gently to combine. When cool enough to handle, cut the corn off the cob and mix into the salad. Set aside.

6. Drizzle the steak with olive oil and place on the grill. Cook without moving around until nicely charred then flip and continue to cook until medium rare, about 5 minutes total. Remove the steak to the bowl of reserved vinaigrette to rest for at least 5 minutes.

7. Remove the steak from the marinade and slice thinly against the grain. Place on a platter and top with the corn and blackberry salad.
