Flank Steak With Corn Salsa
Sometimes you just want a steak. This lean cut, marinated and topped with flavorful salsa is a health-conscious choice. Drain and discard the marinade before grilling.
Prep/Cook Time: 6 Hours 35 Minutes, Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 8.75-ounce can whole-kernel corn, drained
- ¾ cup salsa verde
- 1 medium tomato, chopped
- 1 1¼- to 1½-pound beef flank steak
- ¾ cup reduced-calorie Italian salad dressing
- 2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
Directions
- Combine corn, salsa verde and tomato in a medium bowl. Cover and chill for 6 to 24 hours.
- Meanwhile, trim fat from steak. Score both sides of steak in a diamond pattern by making shallow diagonal cuts at 1-inch intervals. Place steak in a sealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish.
- Combine Italian dressing, pepper, Worcestershire and cumin in a small bowl; pour over steak. Seal bag; turn to coat steak. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally. Drain steak, discarding marinade.
- Place steak on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 17 to 21 minutes or until done (160°F), turning once.
- To serve, thinly slice steak diagonally across the grain. Serve steak with corn salsa.
