Corn, tomato and basil scream summer, but simplicity makes this easy dinner recipe perfect for the season. Serve the grilled skirt steak and relish with salad greens for a quick and healthy dinner you'll want to make over and over.

Prep/Cook Time: 25 Minutes, Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 pound skirt steak or sirloin steak
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • ¾ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
  • 1 ear corn, husked
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons torn fresh basil
  • 1½ tablespoons rice vinegar

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
  2. Sprinkle steak with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Brush the steak and corn with 1 tablespoon oil.
  3. Oil the grill rack. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Grill the steak, turning occasionally, to desired doneness, 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer the steak to a clean cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
