Grilled Flank Steak over a Charred Corn Salad

This post is sponsored by Tony Chachere’s, but all opinions are 100% my own.

This grilled flank steak over a charred corn salad with chimichurri sauce is fresh and vibrant for summer. I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to create this delicious meal featuring their Steakhouse marinade that flavors and tenderizes the flank steak so well before grilling. With sweet corn being at its best of the season, this charred corn salad is the perfect base for a perfectly seasoned and grilled flank steak topped with a fresh chimichurri sauce that brings the whole dish together seamlessly. You will love grilling up this delicious meal all summer long.

I can’t get enough of grilling in the summer months, and this recipe is a simple and delicious combination to add to your dinner rotation. It’s a meal that is simple enough for any night of the week, but would be fantastic for entertaining friends and family too. I love summer meals that are made with minimal ingredients, but pack a ton of flavor and this combination does just that!

Tips for this recipe:

  • Marinate the flank steak with Tony Chachere’s Steakhouse Marinade for at least 30 minutes to make sure the flavor really gets to the meat.

  • When grilling the flank steak, don’t flip the meat until it releases easily from the grill. When it is ready to flip, it will turn easily.

  • Char the corn on the grill and then let it cool slightly before cutting. Then, lay the corn flat on the cutting board, and take your knife and slice down between the kernels and then cob on each side at a time for removing the kernels for the easiest and safest method.

  • Let the flank steak rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to let the juices redistribute.

  • Slice the flank steak against the grain to ensure the meat is tender.

  • Make the corn salad and the chimichurri sauce in advance if you prefer. The corn salad can be eaten at room temperature or straight out of the refrigerator.

I can’t wait for you to try this delicious recipe. I tend to eat this charred corn salad by the spoonful when I make it and you just can’t beat the chimichurri sauce with the marinated flank steak!
