Ingredients

1/2 tablespoon Mexican fiesta seasoning such as Badia® 

2 large avocados, peeled, pitted and chopped 

2 Roma tomatoes, chopped 

1 large jalapeño pepper, stemmed, halved lengthwise, seeded and chopped

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice plus lime wedges for garnish (optional) 

1 teaspoon salt

2 medium ears fresh corn, husks and silks removed 

Preparation

  1. Pat steak dry with paper towel; brush both sides with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with seasoning. Let steak stand 30 minutes at room temperature.

 

  1. Prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat. In large bowl, toss avocados, tomatoes, jalapeño, onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, black pepper and remaining 1 tablespoon oil.

 

  1. Place corn and steak on hot grill rack; cover and cook 12 minutes or until internal temperature of steak reaches 135° for medium-rare, turning once and corn is lightly charred. Transfer steak and corn to cutting board; tent steak with aluminum foil and let stand 10 minutes. (Internal temperature of steak will rise to 145° upon standing.) Cut corn kernels from cobs; add to avocado mixture and toss. Makes about 6 cups salad.

 

  1. Slice steak against the grain; serve with salad and garnish lime wedges, if desired.
