Cilantro Lime Marinated Steak with Corn Salsa
Report
Cilantro Lime Marinated Grilled Steak with Corn Salsa is just about as good as dinner can get! Sublime lime-marinated steaks with a hint of garlic and spice meet roasted corn salsa with jalapenos, cilantro, onion, and more lime for juicy, tender steak that's great alone or in a tortilla!

Ingredients
- 4 steaks (about 12 ounces each) see note for suggested cuts
Marinade
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- lime juice about 3 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lime juice, juice of 3 limes
- ½-1 teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cilantro chopped, bunch, leaves
Corn Salsa
- 2 corn husks removed, ears
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- salt to taste
- ½ jalapeños seeds and stems removed, finely chopped
- ½ onion diced
- cilantro leaves chopped, large handful
- lime juice of 1
Instructions
- Combine all marinade ingredients and stir vigorously. Combine with steaks in a bowl or zip-seal bag and chill for 30 minutes.
- While steaks are marinating, begin preparing the corn salsa. Rub olive oil all over corn and season generously with salt. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl combine diced jalapenos, onions, and cilantro. Set aside.
- Preheat grill to medium. Grill corn for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally. Allow to cool until you can handle the corn, then slice off kernels and combine with the salsa. Add lime juice and salt to taste. Set aside until ready to serve.
- Transfer steak to preheated grill, discard excess marinade. Grill for 6-8 minutes on each side until cooked to desired doneness. (140 degrees F for medium, or 150 degrees F for medium-well)
- Remove from heat and rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing and serving with corn salsa. Enjoy!
Notes
- Steak cuts: This marinade works well for any grilling steak - flank steak or skirt steak, sirloin, bottom round, new york strip, etc.
- Stovetop method: To make this on the stovetop, follow directions as written but cook over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, then turn the steaks and reduce heat to low for another 5-7 minutes until cooked to desired doneness.
- For the corn salsa: You can use canned and drained corn for the salsa. Sautee the corn in a pan for 3-5 minutes to give it a roasted flavor, or toss it in straight from the can. Make it extra spicy by adding another jalapeno.
